Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Squeeze the juice from the lime into the glass. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves and mix them with the sugar and lime juice. This releases the essential oils from the mint and creates a fragrant base for your cocktail.
