Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the mint leaves, releasing their essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves apart too much.

Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the sugar begins to dissolve.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the mixture is nice and cold.
