I was in Souther France a few years ago and had a mojito very similar to this one. The difference was the bar owner put sugar crystals of some sort in the very bottom of the glass. A simple addition and it was delicious. I'm going to try this recipe with her twist. Sounds delicious!

if you're going to muddle the mint leaves in the glass, add a little sugar to it too. the sugar is an abrasive and will grind up the leaves very well

Forgot to mention this... good instructible

Here is one improvement. Instead of molding the mint leaves in the glass, clap them two or three times in your hands. Enough flavor and aroma will be released. While drinking the mojito, there won't be small pieces of mojito leaves in the straw, too.
