Purpose and description
Enable an agent to recognise a Mojito, assess a particular serving or batch, and decide how it may be prepared, adjusted, served or discarded.
A mojito is a cocktail of Cuban origin traditionally made with white rum, lime juice, sugar, mint and soda water, served over ice.
It can be Classify a recorded drink as a conventional Mojito, a declared variant or an unresolved match.; Scale an explicit recipe while preserving its ingredient ratios and separately planning ice and soda addition.; Guide mint treatment, sweetener incorporation and final mixing against the selected recipe.; Estimate serving strength and dilution with assumptions made visible.; Recommend recipe-compatible adjustments after assessing sweetness, acidity, mint and carbonation.; Assess whether to finish, serve, remake or discard a serving using its condition and handling record..
Distinguishing features
A conventional Mojito combines rum with mint, lime, sweetness and carbonated water; the combination distinguishes it from a rum-and-lime drink without mint or soda.
Mint contributes flavour through contact or extraction rather than functioning solely as an unrelated decorative garnish.
The serving is a diluted beverage mixture with carbonation and typically ice, rather than a pure chemical substance with one molecular identity.
A mint julep uses a different conventional spirit and does not share the Mojito's lime-and-soda composition.
A serving without rum or with a different base spirit must retain an explicit variant designation so that its composition is not inferred from the Mojito name alone.
Scope

- Standalone toxicology and regulatory models for ethanol
- The Mojito recipe as a document, its authorship and its historical transmission
Characteristics
- Recipe identity
- conventional Mojito | declared variant | identity unresolved Determines whether the name accurately represents the recorded ingredients and preparation.
- Ingredient quantities
- mL for liquids; g for solids; mint count with leaf or sprig basis stated Supports repeatable preparation and explains differences in strength, sweetness and dilution.
- Base spirit or replacement
- linked rum product, alternative spirit or alcohol-free replacement, including declared alcohol content Establishes the alcoholic base and makes substitutions visible.
- Mint form and treatment
- fresh leaves | sprigs | infusion | extract | other; treatment recorded separately Distinguishes mint flavour delivery from garnish and helps explain weak aroma or excessive plant fragmentation.
- Alcohol concentration at assessment
- % ABV, with measured or estimated basis and dilution assumptions Represents the drink as served rather than treating the rum's bottle strength as the cocktail's strength.
- Dilution since mixing
- mL estimated meltwater or dilution fraction, with assessment time Tracks how melting ice changes flavour balance, volume and alcohol concentration.
- Carbonation condition
- not yet carbonated | lively | reduced | flat | unassessed Helps distinguish an unfinished batch from a ready serving or a serving whose condition has deteriorated.
- Serving temperature
- °C at a recorded time Provides context for ice melt, sensory assessment and serving readiness.
- Sensory balance
- recorded assessment of sweetness, acidity, mint aroma, spirit intensity and unwanted bitterness Guides adjustments against a chosen recipe target without assuming one universal ideal.
- Preparation and holding history
- linked preparation, storage, ingredient-handling and service events Supports decisions about freshness, handling acceptability and whether a serving can still be used.

Mojito identity Defines the cocktail sense of Mojito and the boundaries of its named variations.
The registry has no definition, and treating the drink as a single chemical substance would obscure its recipe-dependent identity.
Conventional composition
Records the ingredient roles that establish the conventional cocktail.
Ingredient role pattern
Recognition rests on the combination of rum, mint, lime, sweetness and carbonated water, with ice contributing to serving condition and dilution.
- Which recorded ingredients supply the rum, mint, lime, sweetness and carbonated-water roles? definition
- Does each ingredient contribute to the drink itself, or is it present only as garnish? boundary
Named variations
Makes deviations from the conventional composition explicit.
Variant disclosure
Alcohol-free versions, alternative spirits and added flavours require composition records and a declared relationship to the conventional Mojito.
- Which ingredients or operations differ from the selected conventional reference recipe? boundary
- What variant designation should accompany this serving so its alcohol and flavour composition are clear? action
Recipe and ingredient contributions Captures quantities and ingredient properties that determine the drink's composition.
The name alone cannot establish strength, sweetness, acidity or mint intensity.
Rum, lime and sweetener balance
Connects the principal liquid and sweetener inputs to a specific recipe target.
Quantified recipe basis
A reproducible recipe identifies the rum strength, lime form and sweetener concentration as well as their quantities.
- What quantities, rum ABV and syrup concentration or sugar mass define the recipe before ice melts? measurement
- Which recipe source or house specification establishes the intended balance? provenance
Mint and soda inputs
Records the inputs responsible for mint character and effervescence.
Mint and carbonated-water specification
Mint identity, form and condition and the amount and condition of carbonated water help explain variation between nominally identical recipes.
- What mint was used, in what form and quantity, and in what observed condition? provenance
- How much carbonated water was added, and was its carbonation assessed at addition? measurement
Mixing and serving evolution Tracks how preparation and elapsed time transform the ingredients into a changing serving.
Mint treatment, incomplete mixing, melting ice and gas loss can make the same recipe produce different results.
Mint treatment and incorporation
Records flavour extraction and distribution of lime, rum and sweetener.
Preparation operation record
The model distinguishes the intended mint treatment and mixing sequence from what was actually performed.
- Was the mint pressed, muddled, stirred, infused or otherwise treated, and at which stage? provenance
- Is sweetener incorporated throughout the drink, and does the mint condition meet the selected recipe target? measurement
Ice, dilution and effervescence
Assesses the drink at a stated time rather than assuming its initial composition persists.
Time-specific serving condition
Ice melt changes liquid volume and concentration while carbonation can decline during holding and handling.
- At assessment, what are the temperature, remaining ice, estimated meltwater and carbonation condition? measurement
- Does the present dilution and effervescence meet the serving target, or should the drink be adjusted or remade? action
Serving fitness and disclosure Combines recipe quality, handling evidence and composition disclosure into serving decisions.
A recognisable Mojito can still be unfinished, poorly balanced, mislabelled or unsuitable for service.
Sensory readiness
Assesses whether the serving meets its declared flavour and presentation target.
Balance and correction
Assessment considers lime acidity, sweetness, mint aroma, spirit intensity and unwanted bitterness together with the recorded preparation.
- Which sensory attributes fall outside the selected recipe target, and how were they assessed? measurement
- Which measured adjustment could correct the imbalance while preserving the declared recipe identity and updating the strength estimate? action
Handling and alcohol disclosure
Records the evidence needed to disclose composition and judge handling acceptability.
Service decision evidence
Service decisions use actual ingredients and preparation history, including additions to variants and the basis of any alcohol-free designation.
- What ingredient labels and quantities support the disclosed alcohol content and any relevant ingredient declarations? provenance
- Given the handling of mint, lime, ice and any held mixture, does the applicable food-service procedure permit serving, further holding or require disposal? action
Evidence and external alignment What the world already says about this thing, gathered so the model can be checked against it.
A model that cannot be lined up against existing standards, identifiers and practice cannot be adopted by anyone who already uses them.
