Mojito Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Squeeze the juice from half of the lime and add the lime half to the glass. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint and lime to release their flavors. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves too much.
