Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Cut the lime in half, squeeze the juice from one half into the glass, and then add the other half to the glass as well. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves and lime together to release the mint oils and mix with the sugar.
