Maybe give some free advice about: Cooking?
Club soda is just carbonated water. You can find it at any grocery store, either with the soda pop or with the mixers. It's really cheap, usually about 49 cents for a two-liter bottle.
Sugar often goes on the rim of a glass. It's a little more sophisticated and shows more presentation than just stirring it into the drink.
To coat the rim with sugar, take two saucers, and fill one with water and the other with sugar. Then turn the glass upside-down, immerse the rim in water, then press it into the sugar. You will get a nice, even coating.
After that, fill the glass with the drink, though not all the way to the rim or you'll wash the sugar off. If you want to be extra cool about it, try placing a slice of strawberry on the rim as well, or add a peeled grape on a toothpick (rather like a cocktail olive).

hey!!
EDIT: whoa... what the heck happened to my answer?? i gave you a whole explanation, but for some reason all that you got for an answer was "hey!!"
Anyway, i explained that club soda just means carbonated water. it's easy to find at just about any grocery store, but some people really don't like it. i suggest giving it a try, and if you don't like the taste of it, you can always substitute it with something like sprite. the final taste won't be exactly the same, but close!!
also, the sugar in the tins is for rimming the glass, as you said. basically, it makes the drink look nicer, plus everyone can taste the sweetness of the sugar when they go to take a sip! that stuff is pretty expensive though... you can just use regular sugar and get the same effect!
well sorry about whatever happened... that was so weird! lol ok have fun making drinks... appletinis are the best! :)
