Tools must always be thoroughly clean. Then pour a spoon full of sugar, the ideal would be white (refined) sugar cane sugar - as is customary in Cuba - but in Europe it is more expensive than the beetroot we use every day. Raw cane sugar would also be fine, but the mint color wouldn't stand out. To you the choice. Half a lime cut into eight pieces, three parallel cuts and one crosswise, mash well with the pestle so that the sugar blends well with the lime juice. Add a handful of mint leaves and pound again but not much. The leaves must not break too much (unsightly). Add ice to fill the glass (I use a little tall tumbler as it presents better, but the quantity is always the same. A generous dose of rum (about 6 cl.) and a little soda water to complete. well with the long spoon (barspoon) from bottom to top diagonally, add a sprig of mint to garnish and with straws your mojito is ready to serve.
