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)

message: 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)

message: The IBA infobox contains a recipe from the IBA website that uses lemon juice .  While this might not be "traditional", the infobox is for an IBA recipe.  The traditional recipe in the text of the article does not mention lemon juice.Socrates2008 23:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The recipe is incorrect in numerous ways, there is already a link to the wikibooks recipe, and thus unecessary. 74.230.210.104 11:17, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

message: 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)

message: I removed the latest set of external links. The first was already listed in the references, the second was blatantly commercial without providing any new information, and the last wasn't even about Mojito at all (it's about "non-alcoholic mojitos").
Someone reverted my removal, so this is obviously controversial. I would welcome discussion here and will go along with the consensus. Rees11 (talk) 16:39, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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?

message: 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)
