Method
Preparation
- 1
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 press and twist the mint leaves with the sugar to release the mint oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass or shaker, being careful to avoid any seeds. You can also drop one half of the lime into the mixture for extra flavor.
