There's a big difference between an original cocktail that went huge, and simple variations on a formula.

Mojito - A Rum Collins with mint sticking out the top.
Rob Roy - A Manhattan with Scotch.
Cosmo - Basically a pink Gimlet.

But the Moscow Mule (1941) may rate up there. It's very original, lots of quirky history, made vodka real popular, still tastes good, etc.
