Mojito Cocktail

When well made, this Cuban cousin of the Mint Julep is one of the world's greatest and most refreshing cocktails

If you want to boil it down, the dilution is the main difference I think. A Daiquiri is shaken in ice and served up (dilution ceases after serving) as a Sour. A Mojito is stirred in crushed or cubed ice and the ice stays in the glass with an extra dash of soda water so its a larger volume Collins type cocktail.

It being mid-Summer, I think we'd appreciate the Mojito over the Daiquiri as it stays colder for longer and has more chilled liquid to down.

Cheers...mid-winter here so we might go a Daiquiri.

Daiquiri is my usual go to, but Summer always throws me into drinks with ice. Mojitos will be followed by the Mai Tai, and then I'll find my copy of Smuggler's Cove and get my drinks mixer plugged in. How is the Rum selection in the Southern Hemisphere?
