Base Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Lime
Cut the lime into 8 wedges. This will help release the juices more easily.

Muddle the Ingredients
In a sturdy glass, place the lime wedges and sprinkle the granulated sugar over them. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the lime wedges to release their juice and mix it with the sugar. Be careful not to pulverize the lime into tiny pieces; just press enough to dissolve the sugar.
