Preparation

Muddle the Ingredients
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Squeeze the lime juice from half of the lime into the glass, then drop the used half in. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint and sugar mixture to release the mint oils and dissolve the sugar. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much.
