This is the part where I jump up and down, scream and tear my hair out.  There 
is a great wailing and gnashing of teeth, too.  Why is everything a "fill in 
the blank" mojito these days? Simply because a muddler gets employed against a 
hunk of lime doesn't turn a cocktail into a mojito.  Indeed, the mojito is a 
particular kind of a cocktail within the family of smashes.  Calling these new 
fangled poisons properly, ie, Asian Pear Smash, is appropriately descriptive, 
sounds better, and, more importantly, preserves the singularity of the term 
mojito.  

The same rant goes for the "fill in the blank" cosmo's too.

Look what happened to Martini!

The makers of the movie "Orca" didn't call it "Killer Whale Jaws" or "Just 
Like Jaws but with Mammals".  They knew they were short in the originality 
department, but figured the movie-going public wouldn't notice if they at 
least named it something original.

C'mon, we can do better!
