I don't even know how to respond to your garbled/mangled post.  But I will 
point out what I find interesting.

???  The fucking links are cucumber vodka's manufacturer(s) and distributor 
websites, for the most part, so what is this "incorrect information on foreign 
sites" business?  (doh!)  That seems so paranoid I can't even fathom the logic 
behind that statement nor posting such.

Read the werds a wee bit more carefully.  "Mojito sort  of  inspiration 
... Need I say more?  Easier terminology?  Slower paced?  Less syllables?  In 
English?

?????

This is just too funny to respond.  But thanks for the laugh.  Nice tangential 
switch up, but if you have issues (which are apparent) take it up with the 
vodka's manufacturer, the other mixologists whipping up these recipes, the 
YouTube video demonstrations and demonstrators, the newspaper columnists 
featuring these abominations and the consumers that purchase same.

EDITED TO ADD:  Hasn't anyone  ever  looked to the classics for 
inspiration ????  Or are you really that thick?

Stop!  You are killing me!  You've simply got me laughing so hard I'm in 
tears!  Whew!!!  Was I suggesting the entire back yard garden?  Really?????

(Do you ever tire of posting that dribble about your eye?)  You, a peer?  One 
that doesn't understand how useful of a resource that Google can be to self 
educate, investigate and/or research that wild world all around you?

I simply don't see the wisdom of asking others for all your answers without 
first having sought out some ideas or solutions on one's own.  You wish to 
place vindiction into something stating the obvious, well then you must have a 
hard day every day of the week.  Geesz, checking the vodka producer's own 
fucking website.  (Wow, what a crazy idea!)  Oh, I forgot.  That takes effort, 
right?  lol
