Method
Preparation
Muddle 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 and mix with the sugar. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. You can also use a lime squeezer for efficiency. Discard the spent lime half. Save the other half for garnish.
Mix the Ingredients
Use a spoon to stir the mixture well, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely.
Garnish
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint on top for a refreshing presentation.
