Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves, releasing their essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves apart too much; you want to bruise them, not shred them.
