Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their oils, being careful not to tear them too much.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it is nearly full.
