Variations
Many hotels in Havana also add Angostura bitters to cut the sweetness of the Mojito; while icing sugar is often muddled with the mint leaves rather than cane sugar, and many establishments simply use sugar syrup to control sweetness.[20] Many bars today in Havana use lemon juice rather than fresh lime.
Fruit-flavoured rums, such as mango, strawberry, lychee or mandarin, are often substituted.
A Mexican Mojito uses the Mexican native tequila instead of rum as a primary alcohol, and simple syrup instead of sugar for a sweetener. To simplify production, some restaurants will add mint leaves and peppermint extract to premade margaritas for Mexican Mojitos.
A "Dirty Mojito" uses spiced rum, brown sugar syrup, key limes, crushed mint and soda.
A Mojito without alcohol is called a "Virgin Mojito" or "Nojito"[21]
An "Apple Mojito" uses apple-flavoured liqueur as well as rum.
The drink is also spelled Mohito and Moxito in certain cultural areas of Cuba.[citation needed]
An "English Mojito" uses gin in place of rum and sprite as a substitute for sugar/soda.[citation needed]
A "Greek Mojito" uses Metaxa Greek spirit or Mastika instead of rum
A "Mojito Royal" is a mojito with Champagne instead of club soda.
A "Morelli Mojito" refers to a mojito made with Red Bull instead of soda water and Raspberry vodka
A "Mojitaly" is a mojito with fernet branca instead of rum and mapo instead of lime.

A "sojito" is a mojito made with Korean soju instead of white rum.[22]

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for glassware for single malt. This bottle of Laphroaig isn't going to last long…
