Which of these is a Mojito?

• A. Bloody Mary
• B. Redheaded Stranger
• C. Raspberry Hurricane
• D. Mojito

Answer: (D)

A Mojito is defined by a bright, refreshing mix of white rum, muddled fresh mint, lime juice, sugar, and soda water, with the mint oils released by muddling and the drink served over ice. The option that matches this profile best is the Mojito, because it features the essential elements—rum, lime, mint—and the fizzy finish from the soda. The Bloody Mary is tomato-based and savory, typically using vodka, not a mint-lime-rum combination. The Raspberry Hurricane is a fruity tropical rum drink with multiple flavor notes that don’t rely on muddled mint or a soda lift. The Redheaded Stranger is a different spirit-forward cocktail with a flavor profile distinct from a mojito.
