Whats the difference between margaritas, daiquiris, and mojitos?

Question

what's the difference between them? ive only had margaritas...but they all seem similar to me!

can you list whats included in each so i can get an idea of what i might like & see how theyre different???

also, this may sound funny but i've always wondered how to pronounce 'mojito'!!! can any one spell it out phonetically for me?

is it like "mo-he-toe" or "mo-g-toe" ?

Answer 1

It is mo he toe



A mojito has rum in it and is generally a liquid drink and is minty.

A daiquiri is also a rum based drink and can be made with various fruits and is a frozen slushy type of drink.

A margarita is a tequila based drink and can be made with various fruits.  Margaritas can be on the rocks (liquid) or frozen (slushy) and the glasses are rimmed either with salt or sugar.

Answer 2

They are all really different drinks.

* Margarita - in its simplest form it is tequila, triple sec and lime/lemon juice and often served with a glass rimmed in salt.  They are also served frozen and flavored.

* Daiquri - rum, lime/lemon juice and a small amount of sugar.  Pour a teaspoon of sugar into a glass filled with ice, add lime/lemon juice, top it off with rum and stir.  This is also served frozen now and flavored too.

* Mojito - this is a highball drink with white rum, simple syrup, lime, carbonated water and mint.  This drink requires muddling the mint leaves in the glass to release its flavor.

If you've had each one, you'll taste the big difference in them.

Answer 4

Margaritas:

The national drink of Mexico, made with Tequila, Controy and fresh lime juice served either blended with ice or on the rocks in a salt-rimmed glass.

Daiquiris:

is a family of cocktails whose main ingredients are rum, lime juice, and sugar or other sweetener. There are several versions, but those that gained international fame are the ones made in the El Floridita bar in Havana, Cuba.

Mojitos:

mojito is traditionally made of five ingredients: white rum, sugar (traditionally sugar cane juice), lime, carbonated water and mint. Its combination of sweetness and refreshing citrus and mint flavors are intended to mask the potent kick of the rum, and have made this clear highball a popular summer drink.

Answer 5

Daiquiris and margaritas are similar, but the daiquiri has rum while the margarita has tequila.  Both are usually blended with various fruit bases.
