[Dom Costa] Re: Best Mojito in Cuba
This is a really eraly thread on Mojitos using lime juice, Its a cuban recipe.

[Thinking Bartender] Re: Mojito
This here is again where you mention using Lime Juice in a mojito.

[Thinking Bartender] New: Lemon Mojito
Here is a lemon mojito recipe that you suggest changing the name of because it 
uses lemon juice in the recipe. 

I am not going to get into a big argument with you, i am just trying to 
understand when you use a clasic recipe to base a name of your cocktail on, 
what factors do you use?

To me, lemon juice only in a mojito is no longer a mojito. We had a thread 
about changing ingredients changes the name of the cocktail here but i cant 
find it now. 

To me the lime juice in a mojito is what makes it a mojito. As does the rum, 
sugar and mint. I'm not going to get into the soda debate as its not relevent 
here.

Without all of those ingredients, it is no longer a mojito, its now something 
else. Call it a collins if you like, or call it something not even related to 
mojitos, but it isnt a mojito.

If i was asked to make a vanilla mojito i would probably use vanilla sugar in 
place of the standard sugar, i would not use lemon juice. I would say 99% of 
bartenders would be the same. I also can see that by calling it a vanilla 
mojito it could very easily be made by tenders, but not to your recipe specs.

I was going to say something else but i just had a phone call a mate has died 
in a car accident so i lost my train of thought. If i remember i will come 
back and post.
