Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Squeeze the juice from the whole lime into the glass, and then drop the lime halves in. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves and lime together, releasing the mint oils and lime juice.
