I think its been over 10 years since I've had a Mojito. My wife (girlfriend at the time) drank one at a restaurant in Dallas when visiting and got so sick that she had to go to the ER. Must've been a bad batch of mint. Stayed away ever since.
But I can proudly say I'm now a Mojito fan. I like the Death & Co. version, although after trying a few others recipes, it's not my personal favorite. I do prefer the crushed ice they make theirs with. But from what I can tell, most recipes include club soda. I think it lightens it up a little more and takes some of the lime acidity off. But nevertheless, solid.
