Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, muddle the fresh mint leaves with the sugar using a muddler or the back of a spoon. Press gently to release the mint oils but do not shred the leaves.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
