Preparation

Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the lime wedge. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint and lime together to release their juices and essential oils. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves too much as it can make the drink taste bitter.
