Mojito Preparation

Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, 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, releasing the mint oils. Aim for a fragrant mixture, but avoid tearing the leaves too much.

Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. Add the lime half (the squeezed one) to the mixture as well. Muddle gently again to combine the flavors.
