Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime cut into wedges. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle them together to release the mint oils and lime juice. Do not pulverize; aim to bruise the mint leaves.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the mixture is well chilled.
