Which of the following is not an ingredient in Mojito?

• A. Coconut
• B. Banana
• C. Lime
• D. Creme de Menthe

Answer: (B)

Mojitos rely on lime juice, fresh mint, sugar, white rum, and sparkling water. The bright, bracing lime provides the defining citrus note, while mint adds aroma and freshness, and the rest balances and effervesces the drink. Banana doesn’t fit that flavor profile at all—it's not a ingredient you’d associate with the classic mojito. Coconut or creme de menthe may appear in nontraditional twists or other cocktails, but banana has no common place in mojito variations, making it the best choice for what isn’t used.
