"fe" ingredients is probably supposed to read "five" ingredients — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.232.228.83 ( talk) 20:09, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
I disabled the muddle link in the directions on how to make it because it linked to another page that was a Mr Muddle. I still don't know what muddling is but that's ok. Hinchu ( talk) 01:49, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Muddling is using a tool, usually wooden, that resembles a small baseball bat, to mash up ingredients in the bottom of a glass before adding other ingredients. They resemble a mortar and pestle, but the mashing/grinding surface is flat (or a bit more flat), and mashes against the flat bottom of the glass. Muddling is important because it releases the essential oils of the ingredient(s). It's critical in making a mojito (and several other cocktails) because otherwise you end up with limeade and rum. Also, you'll probably want to use about twice the amount of mint shown on this page. http://www.drinkboy.com/BarTools/Muddler.html http://www.mojitocompany.com/home.php?cat=108 66.167.206.113 ( talk) 07:01, 20 May 2008 (UTC) (Just wandering by)
"Its popularity is evidenced by its prominent role in recent Bacardi advertisements." The adveritsing campaign is hardly evidence of the popularity of the cocktail. This sentence seems to be an advertisement for Bacardi. The use of "recent" is non-encyclopedic; there is no indication of what time frame is considered "recent". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.156.135.88 ( talk) 15:09:51, August 19, 2007 (UTC)
I messed up the reference for Hemingway. Can someone who knows better than I do show me how to fix this?
Also, the item that state that James Bond "used one" -- can someone who saw the film write a better description than "used"? Did he drink it? Poison one? Seduce the villainess? MacGyver a hot air balloon out of a Mojito and trash bag? Travisl 18:39, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
I'd guess that if James Bond had one it was in one of the books not the movies. He has a variety of different drinks in the books and is not nearly so predictable as to always drink martinis. He typically drinks what ever is local in his books. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.106.184.69 ( talk) 05:20, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

A recurring reference to The Family Guy appears. It was removed earlier as one of the non-notable references. The most recent re-addition states that the dog drinks "one or more", which is rather non-encyclopedic. I am aware of this television cartoon, but have no clue as to how notable the show is or not, how notable the dog is on the show (or even why a dog would be drinking one or more alcoholic beverages--even Snoopy drank root beer) :-) If it's relevant, then lets get some hard numbers behind the statement (so and so drank 3 mojitos in episode "Dog gets drunk", or something like that).

Here's a trivia item that may be of interest. (Maybe not.) If you delete the spearmint and use still water instead of carbonated, you have.... navy grog. The classic British grog recipe was 1 part rum, 3 parts water, lime juice, and sugar. The rum was an incentive to get the sailors to drink the lime juice which prevented scurvy aboard ship. Does anyone think that is interesting enough to add? Too trivial or irrelevant? Thanks. -- Newell Post 21:58, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

When I did my cocktail course, it was stressed that the sugar and lime eighths be put in the glass first. The limes are then stamped with a pestle so as to scratch the skin surface of the limes thus releasing the essential oils (as with Caipirinha). For this reason, the sugar should always be white granulated or demarara). TinyMark 13:52, 18 August 2007 (UTC) It sounds like your describing how to muddle mint, not lime Hemingway.

Mint is not optional. I will fix that.
The reference doesn't specify spearmint, and in fact that's incorrect. The Cubans use (surprise) Cuban mint, mentha nemorosa. In the US that's hard to find so many people use mentha spicata (spearmint). As the reference doesn't say, I'll just remove the species. Rees11 15:16, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Mojito comes with ice cubes rather than with crushed or shaved ice. It's preferred to use as little ice has the condition allow to use so that the drink would not become warm. Mojito cocktail is clear and from well made cocktail you should be able to see through the glass.

Isn't it annoying that there is no WPMIXInfobox distinction between rums? I note that the recipe specifies "white rum", but according to the rum page, there is a grade of rum called "light rums" which include white and silver.

Both of you, please beware the Three Revert Rule.
I'm not fond of the "Variations" section. At least we finally got rid of the "Trivia" section, which was 100 times worse.
One problem with a "Variations" section is it's nearly impossible to maintain. It's never going to have every variation. How do you decide which to include? For something like a Manhattan it's reasonable to note that not everyone includes the bitters. But Mojito is becoming something like Martini, where common usage has gradually broadened to include almost any alcoholic drink, so pretty soon we're going to have things like the "gin and tonic" mojito or the "bourbon and vermouth" mojito. Do we really want to include those? How about the "my uncle once put a dash of pineapple juice in one" variations?
I vote against the "Variations" section but I'm not going to argue strenuously about it. Rees11 ( talk) 21:45, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm a bit uncomfortable listing yerba buena as an ingredient, because it's an imprecise term and isn't even a mint in common usage in the US (see yerba buena). For now I've fixed the link so it goes to the section of the yerba buena article that talks about mint. It seems to me the simplest thing would be to change this back to "mint." If we're going to leave it at "yerba buena" it almost seems like we need a paragraph about how the word has different meanings in the US and Cuba, and how the Cuban version is intended, but that seems like too much for this article. And it's going to be hard to find sources. Besides which, the two sources listed actually call for "mint," not "yerba buena." Rees11 ( talk) 13:08, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
As of my posting this to the discussion page, the first sentence of the article reads as follows:
"A mojito is traditionally made of six ingredients: white rum or vodka, sugar (traditionally sugar cane juice), lime, sparkling water, ice, and mint."
WRONG! A mojito is not traditionally made with vodka. Ever! Of course, bartenders and consumers around the world are free to (and do) make whatever variations they want, but the traditional Cuban recipe NEVER uses vodka. Besides, I've never seen a vodka variant of the mojito anywhere, neither in Cuba nor in the U.S., and I've drank a lot of them in both countries.
Please, please, please remove vodka from the opening sentence. At most, vodka is just a casual variant that expiremntal drinkers (or vodka-lovers) might use in place of light rum. In the authentic Cuban recipe, it's always light rum. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.245.75.194 ( talk) 20:21, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

I added a citation needed remark to the use of Angostura bitters in a mojito in Havana, Cuba and it was reverted without explanation. I've done some research and the only reference I can find online is some random comments on recipe websites making this claim: never an actual trusted source. The citation at the end of the sentence has no mention of any bitters. Even the "10 mojito variations" article has no mention of Angostura. It also doesn't pass the sniff test for a cocktail that is known for its clarity. Can we either provide a citation or remove this portion of the variations section?

The second sentence in the History section; "It was known that the local South American Indians had remedies for various tropical illnesses, so a small boarding party went ashore on Cuba and came back with ingredients for an effective medicine" is absolutely senseless. Even taking into account the preceding and following sentences it still is just an extra-long dangling participle. South American Indians living in Cuba? WHAT illnesses? A party went ashore from where? And a "boarding party" is a group BOARDING a boat not going ashore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:1D90:B480:5C03:E94C:4448:2F42 ( talk) 06:04, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

I added a citation needed remark to the use of Angostura bitters in a mojito in Havana, Cuba and it was reverted without explanation. I've done some research and the only reference I can find online is some random comments on recipe websites making this claim: never an actual trusted source. The citation at the end of the sentence has no mention of any bitters. Even the "10 mojito variations" article has no mention of Angostura. It also doesn't pass the sniff test for a cocktail that is known for its clarity. Can we either provide a citation or remove this portion of the variations section?

The second sentence in the History section; "It was known that the local South American Indians had remedies for various tropical illnesses, so a small boarding party went ashore on Cuba and came back with ingredients for an effective medicine" is absolutely senseless. Even taking into account the preceding and following sentences it still is just an extra-long dangling participle. South American Indians living in Cuba? WHAT illnesses? A party went ashore from where? And a "boarding party" is a group BOARDING a boat not going ashore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:1D90:B480:5C03:E94C:4448:2F42 ( talk) 06:04, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
