I agree, the crystals in the sugar help to extract the oils from the mint when you muddle, plus you get more fresh mint flavor than if you put the mint in the hot water where it would slightly start to cook. I use a mortar and pestle.
Normally its beer, wine or Scotch/bourbon only.. but a well made Mojito or Margarita on a hot day is sometimes warranted.
