Preparation

Muddle the Ingredients
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar. This releases the essential oils from the mint, which will infuse your cocktail with flavor. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
