Just the idea of adding olive juice to a mojito makes me gag.  Surely it's something else…

[mclaincausey]

There's an outstanding beverage at Marvel Bar up here called Oliveto. It uses olive oil as an emulsifier.

[sabergirl]

I'll hazard that olive oil has a lot milder flavor than the olive brine that is used for dirty martinis, though.  Actually, I'd like to try that–although I imagine without a stick blender it would be almost impossible to whip oil enough to get an emulsion.

[mclaincausey]

Absolutely true on the flavor.

Ah, with the egg white it would be a little quicker to whip to a froth.  It sounds delicious.

Olive Liquor - highly recommended - always have a bottle stashed away…

Wiki sayeth….

Variations
Many hotels in Havana also add Angostura bitters to cut the sweetness of the Mojito; while icing sugar is often muddled with the mint leaves rather than cane sugar, and many establishments simply use sugar syrup to control sweetness.[20] Many bars today in Havana use lemon juice rather than fresh lime.
Fruit-flavoured rums, such as mango, strawberry, lychee or mandarin, are often substituted.
A Mexican Mojito uses the Mexican native tequila instead of rum as a primary alcohol, and simple syrup instead of sugar for a sweetener. To simplify production, some restaurants will add mint leaves and peppermint extract to premade margaritas for Mexican Mojitos.
A "Dirty Mojito" uses spiced rum, brown sugar syrup, key limes, crushed mint and soda.
A Mojito without alcohol is called a "Virgin Mojito" or "Nojito"[21]
An "Apple Mojito" uses apple-flavoured liqueur as well as rum.
The drink is also spelled Mohito and Moxito in certain cultural areas of Cuba.[citation needed]
An "English Mojito" uses gin in place of rum and sprite as a substitute for sugar/soda.[citation needed]
A "Greek Mojito" uses Metaxa Greek spirit or Mastika instead of rum
A "Mojito Royal" is a mojito with Champagne instead of club soda.
A "Morelli Mojito" refers to a mojito made with Red Bull instead of soda water and Raspberry vodka
A "Mojitaly" is a mojito with fernet branca instead of rum and mapo instead of lime.
A "lychee mojito" is a mojito made with lychee syrup or liqueur and is popular in Hong Kong
A "sojito" is a mojito made with Korean soju instead of white rum.[22]
A "Guava Mojito" uses Union Jake's Guava Brandy instead of rum.[23]

I really like these Glencairn whisky glasses. I just received a set from my brother as a gift after filing my dissertation (finally!)    I highly recommend them to anyone looking for glassware for single malt. This bottle of Laphroaig isn't going to last long…
