If they were to be really fine versions of these drinks, I would
choose the mojito. If they were to be run-of-the-mill versions, I
would choose the margarita. Anything in between, I would be somewhat
more inclined to choose the margarita.

Mojito is a mix. Frappe. Margarita is homemade, on the rocks.
Margarita, it is!

Tequila straight is actually the best drink for me, hangover-wise,
as long as I drink enough water. It's not so good taste-wise,
though, hence the additives.

It's been so long since I've had a daquiri that I can't remember
what they taste like.

Some years ago, a friend and I were having lunch in Roanoke; he
spotted "schooner of beer" on the menu and reminded me that Henry
Miller wrote about drinking them in New York. We didn't know what
we'd get (I'd half expected something like an English straight glass),
but we each ended up with something like a *very* tall and top-heavy
pilsner glass. How we laughed! (While trying carefully not to bump
the table, that is.)

I forgot to mention that Roanoke used to be called Big Lick.

"On the rocks"?

I remind you that the famousish lyric:

"there's booze in the blennnnder"

is NOT part of a song titled "Mojitoville"!

Also, donut forget teh coarse salt!

It still is. In fact, Roanoke first "official" name was Big Lick.

"Next week I'm going to the Big Easy / the Big Apple / the Big Lick."

Yup, it just rolls off the tongue.
