The Old Fashioned is dumped in favor of the Manhattan, which is newer and a variation on the Old Fashioned... A Mojito is "A Rum Collins with mint sticking out the top." I don't think so. The Mojito was invented in the 1800s and is a classic, that has a popularity boost right now. I think it should be on the list. You can also say that the Daiquiri is a Mojito with the mint left out, or better, just a rum sour. Anyway, I think the Mojito should be on the list because It's really tasty It's very old Its popularity is huge And of course the Mai Tai shoul be in the top three, it's a great cocktail, not an imitation or variation and the most important "Tropical Drink".

It's really tasty
It's very old
Its popularity is huge

And of course the Mai Tai shoul be in the top three, it's a great cocktail, not an imitation or variation and the most important "Tropical Drink".
