Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Do this carefully to avoid tearing the leaves too much.

Add Lime Juice
Pour the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
