Next we'll be using our silver tequila (I used 1800 brand) and sweet mint leaves. For this step you can either infuse or muddle your mint. I personally prefer infusing, but if you don't plan on doing prep 48 hours in advance, then muddling will be better for you. Assuming you're going with the former, take your mint (I used three leaves for an eight-ounce portion) and pop-shove them either straight into the tequila bottle or a separate container. Two days later and your liquor will take on the fresh, minty taste and aroma we're looking for. If you're a skater that prefers grinding then you can use a muddler to release the freshness manually. Keep in mind, mint is a delicate herb so make sure not to over press if you take this route. I recommend the blunt end of a wooden muddler.
