"There are countless (and very similar) recipes for the Mojito, but this version is for the one Hemingway himself enjoyed at the Mojito's place of birth, La Bodeguita del Medio in Havana, Cuba. There are some that believe that the Mojito was actually born at La Floridita (well know for Daiquiris at the time). It's believe the Mojito came into existence some time between 1850 and 1920, during the modernization of the rum industry and the introduction of ice production." (link)
"The mojito was born in Havana, Cuba. There are many variations of the drink. This recipe calls for the five customary ingredients of mint, rum, powdered sugar, lime, and club soda. If you are throwing a Havana or Cuban theme party, plan on serving these fashionable yet traditional mojitos." (link)
"For over a century, the Bacardi Mojito has channeled the spirit of the Caribbean. Use our original mojito cocktail recipe to bring a little of old Havana your mojito party or gathering." (link)
"The most popular cocktail in the world right now. With it’s origins lying in the bars of Havana at the turn of last century, this is a drink that needs to be mastered to be fully appreciated. No matter what your personal preference, there is a recipe for you. Simply substitute the rum for your favourite, play around with the citrus & sweetness and you can create a drink that will be a friend of yours for a very long time." (link)
"This cocktail is a traditional Cuban cocktail, a summer time favourite, but tastes great all year round. There are many variations of this cocktail, and part of the fun is experimenting with the ingredients to find what best suits your tastes. This recipe is my personal favourite, but I also know that flavored rum can taste great in a Mojito." (link)
Recipe & Method

To mix a Mojito cocktail, gently muddle mint leaves with simple syrup and lime juice in a mixing glass. Add ice and rum, then stir. Top it off with soda water. There are a couple ways to garnish a Mojito. Add a half lime (from the juice) with the ice before stiring, and/or sprig of mint leaves. *The use of limes is more traditional." (link)
"Ingredients: 2 parts White rum, 1 part Lime juice, top up Soda water, 10 Mint sprigs, 1 part Ice cubes, 1 Lime slice, 1 teaspoon Sugar

Put the mint leaves into a Collins glass and squeeze the lime juice over them. Add the powdered sugar and then muddle the mint, lime juice and sugar together. Add crushed ice. Stir in the rum and top off with the club soda." (link)
"Ingredients: 2 shots of Light Rum, 0.75 shots of Lime Juice, 0.5 shots of Sugar Syrup, 12 Mint Leaves, Top up with Soda Water
Gently muddle the mint and Rum in the glass, add the Lime, Sugar and lots of crushed ice, top up with Soda, churn well and serve. Serve in a Collins glass and garnish with a mint sprig." (link)
"Ingredients: 1.5 oz Rum, 12 fresh spearmint leaves, 1/2 lime, 7 oz club soda, 2 tbsp. simple syrup, (or 4 tsp. sugar)
For the smoothest majitos, gently crush mint leaves and lightly squeeze lime in a cool tall glass. Pour sweet syrup on top to cover and fill glass with ice. Add Bacardi Rum, club soda, and stir your emerging mojito well. Garnish with a lime wedge, a few sprigs of mint, toast, sip, and enjoy Bacardi mojitos with your friends." (link)
"Ingredients: 50ml Bacardi Superior, 8–10 mint leaves, 2 x barspoons caster sugar, 20ml fresh lime juice, Soda top, Lots of crushed ice
Method: Get yourself a nice clean glass. Roll your lime for 10–15 seconds on a chopping board. Cut your lime in half and place into a lime squeezer or use a normal everyday juicer. Squeeze 20ml of juice and collect these in a 25ml jigger i.e. just below the rim (you will normally need both halves, depending how juicy or large the lime is). Add 2 barspoons of caster sugar. Rip 8–10 mint leaves and place into the glass. With your barspoon, start to stir the 3 ingredients together, the sugar will dissolve into the lime juice and the mint will get coated in this…mmmmm. Fill the glass with crushed ice. Measure 50ml of Bacardi Superior and put into the glass. You will see that all the ingredients are lying on the bottom, so with your barspoon start to churn the ingredients. This will evenly distribute the mixture and make it taste delicious. Fill with more crushed ice, to create a nice snowcone and top with soda water. Get a mint sprig, which is a nice bunch of leaves at the top of a stem. Holding the base of the stem, slap the mint leaves in the palm of your hand or as I like to call it ‘Smack me mint up’. This will release yet more mint aromas and place in the top of your glass. Finally get two straws, bending one to create ‘rabbit ears’ and position next to the mint sprig." (link)
"Ingredients: White rum 50ml, 3 fresh mint leaves (large), 2 tsp sugar (the coarser the sugar the better, I definitely recommend brown), 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (you can use cordial, but fresh lime is much better), Soda water to taste, 5 crushed ice cubes
Method: Crush 2 of the mint leaves in a tall glass (you can use a fork or spoon for this), then add the sugar and the lime juice and stir through. Add the crushed ice to the glass. Then pour the rum and soda over the top, and then add the last sprig of mint and a slice of lime on top." (link)

"One of the finest and oldest cocktails. The Manhattan was the first cocktail that used vermouth as a modifier. As with a Martini, there are slight variations of the drink that are a matter of preference (see the list below). I had been under the impression for the longest time that a Manhattan used Canadian or bourbon whiskey but after a few traditionalist Manhattanite's comments and a couple of drinks I'm convinced that rye whiskey makes the best Manhattan. After all, it was the original whiskey used for the drink. Though, there was a time when rye was not as widely available or as good as it is today, but after a revival, rye is back. That said, ultimately, the choice is yours as the drinker and if you prefer another whiskey in your Manhattan, go with it." (link)
"A Manhattan cocktail is traditionally made with Rye Whisky and sweet vermouth though Canadian whiskey is also acceptable as an alternative to the Rye. As is usually the case with many of the cocktails that have a long and illustrious history, there are many variations of the initial classic version which are also worth investigating. If you are using a shot glass to measure consider they are usually 1.5 ounces though there is quite a bit of variation so check. Your shot glass size may vary from one and a half ounces, but the recipes below will work as long as you keep the correct proportions." (link)
"There are several conflicting tales of how the Manhattan cocktail came to be. But everyone agrees that the drink was indeed invented in the borough for which it was named, and as we've recently learned, to make a proper traditional Manhattan, you need to use rye whiskey—not the more commonly employed bourbon."
