Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Squeeze the lime juice from half of the lime into the glass, and then drop the spent half into the glass. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint and lime, releasing the mint oils and mixing them with the sugar.
