I've enjoyed a Mojito at Cuba's famous La Bodeguita del Medio, the spiritual home of this cocktail, and this recipe is consistent with the way they are...
To us the Mojito Cocktail recipe has a more "Cuban-style" than this one...less fussy...we struggle to imagine the average, working class Cuban Mojito lover adding "2 dash Saline solution 4:1". On the other hand, we've never been to Cuba...so who knows? Still, a wonderful, if slightly pedantic, variant. We certainly enjoyed it.
I found honey to be used instead of sugar in most of the mojitos I drank in Cuba.
(I was astounded by the number of plastic bottles of honey I saw around the country.)
