Your visual aids are excellent but your instructions are not 100% Cuban. I take my mojitos very seriously and have been trained by the best in Barcelona and Havana.
I see no lemons, the glass you are using is wrong, and the order in which are mixing is wrong.
1. Put mint in the glass
2. Two Tablespoons of sugar
3. 1cm of lemon juice is put into the glass. In Havana they use real lemons but lemon concentrate from the store is acceptable.
4. With the sugar, lemon, and mint in place. Now muddle. You will see the mint start to bleed and you will smell it.
5. Add ice (fill the cocktail glass) - You should be using the tiny, tiny bullet shaped ice.
6. Add rum until 5mm away from the top of the glass.
7. Top off with a splash of soda water
8. Mix with the long spoon you have in the picture
9. Garnish with mint
Tres Anos Havana Club is the usual... Cinqo Anos for the mature drinker.
