Pour the sugar into a small, wide dish. Wet the rim of a chilled martini glass with the lemon half. Dip the rim into the sugar, margarita-style. With a muddler or the bottom of a wooden spoon, crush the mint leaves in a chilled cocktail shaker. Add the Citron, lemon juice and syrup. Fill the shaker with ice. Put the lid on the shaker and make sure you have a tight seal. Shake for 7 to 10 seconds and then strain into the prepared glass. Garnish with the lemon twist.
Simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let cool completely before using. Makes 1-1/2 cups.
