Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Squeeze the juice of the lime into the glass and then drop the lime half in as well. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint, sugar, and lime together to release the mint oils and dissolve the sugar.
