Muddle the mint and lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and the juice of half the lime. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much. Add the granulated sugar to the mixture.

Mix the ingredients
Cut the remaining half of the lime into wedges and add them to the glass. Use the muddler to press down on the lime wedges gently to release more juice while mixing with the mint and sugar.
