Prepare the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and add the granulated sugar on top. Cut the lime in half, then squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. Use the other half for garnish.

Muddle the Ingredients
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves and sugar to release the mint oils and mix with the lime juice. Avoid shredding the leaves, as you want to keep them intact for flavor.
