I used 7 Up, and even then I still agree with Myxo, especially at the top. It actually got better moving down as the lime came through more and more. I feel like making it in the more typical Mojito fashion of lime juice, a little sugar, more thorough churning would make it way better.

As an American I had to do a lot of research to figure out what sort of "lemonade" would work best for this drink, since the "lemonade" called for is specifically the carbonated UK variety. Lemon-lime soda seemed like it would be far too sweet and insufficiently lemony, so I tried Sanpellegrino Limonata. The drink was far too sour and the mint tasted very odd underneath all the citrus. Any suggestions for something commonly available in the US?

It's hard to advise from the UK but it looks like R. Whites Lemonade is available in the USA.
