Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the juice from the wedges into the glass, then drop the wedges in as well. This will add more lime flavor to the cocktail.
