To make Mojitos.....?
I need mint, but I can't find any. Is there an alternative?

Hmm, in a jam, no, but just skip out on the mint. If you could find some type of flavoring that would be pretty helpful. I wonder how those little mint candies or breath mints would work. Maybe worth a try?
Anyways, here is my favorite mojito recipe:

mint is what makes it ,,, There are more than 30 varieties of mint. The mojito is said to have originally been made with yerba buena, a wild mint growing in Cuba. This variety is not widely available in the U.S. (and should not be confused with the plant, also called yerba buena, native to western North America). Do not despair. We recommend spearmint as an exceptional substitute, which can be found at most grocery stores and supermarkets labeled as "mint."

Rose's has a mojito mix that is actually pretty decent. But most any decent grocery store should have mint in teh produce section.

I don't think so. Nothing else taste like mint and that's what the mojito is all about.

There is no real alternative.
I'm kind of surprised you can't find mint. It should be in the produce section of a grocery store. It is a fresh herb, so you should find it in with the basil, rosemary, thyme, etc.
I've never tried this, but could a splash of peppermint schnapps work?

I am afraid that there are no variations when it comes to mint leaves, sorry mate/
