Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Avoid tearing the leaves too much; just press enough to combine with the sugar.

Add Lime
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the glass or shaker, making sure to catch any seeds. You can also drop one half of the lime into the mixture for added flavor.
