Which ingredient is NOT typically found in a Mojito?

A Mojito is a classic cocktail that typically consists of five main ingredients: white rum, fresh mint leaves, sugar (or simple syrup), lime juice, and soda water. The refreshing nature of the drink largely comes from the mint and lime, while soda water adds a bubbly texture.

Lemonade, which usually consists of lemon juice, water, and sugar, is not an ingredient in a Mojito. The inclusion of lemonade would change the flavor profile significantly, making it an entirely different beverage. Additionally, the traditional Mojito relies on the acidity of lime juice rather than the sweetness of lemonade.

While mint leaves, soda water, and rum (specifically white rum, not flavored varieties like Malibu rum) are key components, they contribute to the Mojito's authentic taste and experience. Therefore, the absence of lemonade confirms that it is not a typical ingredient found in a Mojito.
