No Cuban would spend that much time on making it...:)
We're a lazy people when it comes to drinks...

Put mint leaves in ice, use a pestle to crush

Add light rum, simple syrup, soda water and a dash of lime juice..

Mohito recipe, provided here as a public service to those who may not yet
have heard of Google (e.g. Government employees???  Just asking...;-)

Dave Moores 

1. Lime Juice (1 whole lime equals about 3 teaspoons) or use limejuice from 

concentrate. 

2. Sugar (2 heaping teaspoons) 

3. Mint Leaves (freshest are the best!) You need about 

4. Four to Five mint leaves per drink. (3 for mashing and 2 for garnish at
the end) 

5. Bicardi Limon (clear) Rum (2 oz) 

6. Angostura Bitters (dash) 

7. Ice 

8. Club Soda (2/3 cup) 

9. Straws (the green ones with the accordion top are cool) 

10. A few mint leaves and one lime slice (for garnish) 

Putting it all together:

1. Combine limejuice and sugar in small cup/bowl and mix up quickly. If you
have a wooden spoon that works great. Then add three mint leaves and
continue mixing. The key here is to press/mash the mint leaves firmly (about
30-45 seconds) in order to get the mint oil to mix in with the sugar and
limejuice. (Personally, I think this is the heart of the drink and separates
a good mohito 

from a FANTASTIC MOHITO!) 

2. Pour the contents you created in Step 1 into a glass (10 oz tumbler seems
to work well) and add a dash of Angostura bitters (this is strong stuff,
only a light dash or two). 

3. Add 2 oz of Rum to the glass. Stir well 

4. Add ices (cubes or chipped work well, I don't prefer crushed because it
melts too fast) to the glass about 1/2 to 2/3 the way up the glass. 

5. Add 2/3 cup of Club Soda/Seltzer Water (fresh and bubbly, works the best.
Try not to use club soda/seltzer water that has gone flat (remember our
motto: The difference between a good mohito and a FANTASTIC MOHITO is in the
details) 

6. Add more ice to top off the drink if you need. 

7. Add 1-2 leave of fresh mint as garnish on top. 

8. Add slice of lime 1/8" to 1/4" thick works well. 

By now you should be looking at the best mohito you have ever seen and every
time you make one you will get a little better and faster. You can
experiment with the amounts of min, sugar and limejuice to suit your taste
but normally the amounts for rum, bitters and club soda should stay pretty
constant.

Enjoy your Mohito - It will be Fantastic. To enhance the effect put on some

Cuban Jazz or Salsa music and you will float off to the islands.

Adam:

You are always welcome to do as you will. Sadly, as just another 
unsophisticated  man from the North I have no idea what a  "mohito" is.
