Instruction
1
Take a tall glass of the "headball". Stir into it 3 teaspoons of brown sugar. Sugar necessary it brown – its soft caramel flavor will give the finished drink the right shade.
2
Cut the fruit in half lime (remember to scald it with boiling water before making the cocktail). Then again, already cut half a lime into two parts. Quarters of the fruit press in a glass, and then throw the same crust.
3
Now add the mint. The more you take mint, the more refreshing the drink is.

Do not tear the leaves with your hands. Put them in a glass and gently mash with the pestle. Don't overdo green rags in a glass of cocktail will look not very aesthetically pleasing.
4
Put the ice – the smaller, the better. In a pinch it'll do the usual and cubes from the freezer. Fill the glass, which are already mint, sugar, juice and lime slices, ice, about 2/3 full. This is an important point: the components of the beverage should not float glass.
5
Now pour in a glass of 50-60 ml of rum. Better Cuban for authenticity. Dark rum cocktail is not suitable. For making mojitos using only the light variation of this alcoholic beverage.
6
Fill the glass with tonic (e.g. Schweppes), insert a straw, garnish the edge of the glass with a slice of lime. The cocktail is ready.
