Method
Mojito Preparation

Muddle Ingredients
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Squeeze the lime juice from half of the lime into the glass and drop the spent half in as well. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves and sugar together. This releases the mint oils and dissolves the sugar.
