Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves.

Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass. You can also drop one half into the mixture for added flavor.
