June has always been a month of celebrations for me. Most of my friend's birthday are in June,

followed by father's day and a lot of graduations. This month in our maga-zine we celebrate the new additions to our growing family of columnist with a section about fashion where different fashion designers would be writing ev-ery month about the latest trends and

collections.Also this month we have the pleasure of having in our cover one of the top spanish tv reporters Gloria Ordaz a cu-ban born woman with infinite talent who keeps taking challenges.

For me, after the celebrations ended, it came the time to go to Spain to start a new project I'll be sharing with you in the coming months. It was a trip very different fom the others but sometimes

different is good and in this case it was great! It was a big surprise for me to discover how much my life and priori-ties have changed in the last two years and how important it is to celebrate the good in others, the good in one self and to celebrate and enjoy the moment we are living in right now because at the end, is the only thing that we really have.

The lips are some of the

erotic parts of our bodies.

We use them to speak,

when we eat and when we

kiss and without intending to

we transmit our femininity and

sensuality.

It begins with a good founda-

tion. The lips too, are part of

our skin. They need moisture

and a soft exfoliation. Try and

keep your lips moisturized all

the time especially when you

are in extreme temperatures

such as too hot or too cold.

When you need to apply spe-

cial make up exfoliate your lips

with a small sponge or a brush

For those who have finer lips

and wish for them to look

thicker, you can achieve this

by a lip liner that is the same

color of your natural lip. Line

the lip from the center of the

lips towards the outside and

a little further part the natural

lip line without noticing. Fill the

lips with vertically and even

them out with your finger with-

out it reaching the ends of your

lips. So you do not notice any

lines, eliminate any lines with a

smudger. Then, fill in the rest

of your lip with the pencil. In

the center of your lips apply

a little more color and add lip

gloss for shine.

First, define the contour of

your lips with a pencil with a

tone that matches your natu-

ral lip color then defuse the

pencil with a small brush. The

second beauty trick is large

lips is painting your lips with a

light color, for example a light

beige. Add some light eye

shadow, for example white or

gold in the center of the lips

to enhance the lips. Cover

the lips in a shiny gloss. This

beauty tip will allow the light

to shine on your large lips The

last beauty trick for large lips is

to wet a fine brush and apply

Products to give your lips a

temporary plumping.

These products contain

substances that slightly ir-

ritate the lips and cause a is

not drastic but it does help.

You can use the temporary

inflammation to them. The

change is not drastic but it

does help. You can use the

product for special events.

These types of lip plumping

products come in lip crayon

or gloss.

Light color on the lips make

it look like the lips are larger

then they seem. The darker

color make your lips look

smaller.

This is a very old trick that

gives great results! Cover the

lips in foundation or corrector.

This foundation or corrector

can be made specifically for

the lips or it can be the one

you use on your skin. In the

case the foundation should

be a mate and think founda-

tion. Later apply lip liner that

is the same shade of the your

natural lip. Line the lips and

then apply the lip crayon as

usual. You can add gloss if

you desire.

I recommend lining the out-

side of your natural lip line

and later applying the lipstick

so it appears that your lips

are larger.

Line your entire lip with a

liner that is the same color of

your natural lip color or of the

same shade as the lipstick

you intend to use. Begin by

the edges of your lips and lat-

er fill them in with the liner all

over the lip. Later, apply the

lipstick as usual. The lip liner

will have various functions,

one of them is to create vol-

ume by adding another layer

of makeup to the lip and the

other function is to saturate

your lip with the color. The lip

liner applied all over the lip

can also be used to match up

the color of the lips. You can

use this trick with foundation

or corrector from the above

tip.

Apply gloss over the lips so it

attracts light and they appear

larger.

There is not just one type of pencil

that is best for you. The selection

depends on the occasion and the

type of message you wish to send

across. If you have fine lips, avoid

the mate lipsticks unless you will

add gloss and if you have larger

lips this type of mate pencil will

help accentuate them. Try them all,

it all depends on the color you use.

Generally, lighter colors are used

during the day and darker colors

at night. The mate and creamy

lipsticks offer more versatility and

last longer while a gloss will add a

sense of glamour and sensuality

for the night time.

Mate

Creamy Lipsticks

Liquid Color

With its name its says it all. It has no shine or will have very little

and gives a very opaque look. This type of pencil lasts the longest

and has a great balance of pigments. Unfortunately the downside

to this is that sometimes it will make the lips look cracked and

many people believe that you can only use this type of lipstick if

you have large lips but this is not true-- anyone can use it!

This is the most popular lipstick. This lipstick provides a more

creamy and bright texture than the mate lipstick but are a lighter

lipstick. For being creamy lipsticks they can also hydrate your

lips but they also tend to not last as long as the mate lip stick.

They are liquid lipsticks or gelatinous and have much more shine

then the creamy lipstick. They disadvantage is that they do not

last long and you must be constantly reapplying them. This is

recommended for finer lips.

Add almost there color and shine. They are ideal for people who

not like to look too made up. Lipglosses do not last much time

and can be used over the mate lip liner or the creamer lipstick to

add some shine.

This a relatively new product and last many hours on the lips. It is

formulated so that it dries out the lips and will effect the delicate

skin that is the lips.

In this category we are putting the lips to promise special ben-

efits like how to make the lips look larger. This is by finding sub-

stances that temporarily inflate the lips and will make them look

larger. They also over special lip pencils that have moisturizers.

These are creamy lip pencils that have other ingredients such as

vegetable wax or aloe. Since they have a creamier substance

they do not last as long but do moisturize the lip.

These are some of the most common types of

lip liner and lipstick

Do You Have TMD/TMJ?

TMD pain results from the inflam-

mation of the facial muscles of

mastication, and is commonly

seen with patients that clench/brux/

grind their teeth. TMD/TMJ is a com-

plex condition and a combination of

several factors can contribute to TMD/

TMJ. This article will highlight only a

few common contributing factors.

On occasion, do you wake up with a

headache? Does your spouse/part-

ner tell you were grinding your teeth

in your sleep (bruxing)? At the end of

a stressful day, does it seem as if you

cannot close your mouth comfortably?

Or, have you noticed you cannot open

your jaw comfortably? Are you be-

coming aware that you are tensing up

your jaw/face during the day (clench-

ing)? Does your jaw pop, click, or get

stuck when you open and close your

mouth? Have you been breaking your

teeth? Have you been break-

ing your dental work?

So how does this relate to bruxing, clenching,

and pain?

Are the tips of your front teeth chipping?

Are your front teeth shorter now than they

were some years back?

If you answered yes to any of these ques-

tions, you should have a consult appoint-

ment with your dentist to evaluate and

address the symptoms that may be in-

dicative you have TMD. These symptoms

can either be acute (recent) or chronic

(long term). Breaking teeth and break-

ing dental work may be a result of other

causes, and therefore a proper dental as-

sessment is recommended.

The masticatory system is dynamic sys-

tem. It is an amazing design. In an ideal

oral health condition, there is what I de-

scribe to my patients as a "Zen" balance

of the mouth/jaw. It's the harmony and

balance of the masticatory system. The

design of our sensory innervation for the

masticatory system is astonishing.

TMD--Temporal Mandibular Dysfunction

(commonly referred to as TMJ).

What do I mean by that? Have you ever

been eating and suddenly notice some-

thing was in your food that did not belong?

And, when you figured out what it was,

it may have been a tiny grain, an almost

microscopic piece of bone, or a piece of

shellfish that you could barely see.

You are sensory designed to perceive it!

Your teeth and jaw are meant to com-

fortably fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Unconsciously, your body is trying

to get your jaw to seat into a com-

fortable resting position. So, if you

are clenching or bruxing your teeth,

what is occurring, in a sense, is a

tug of war amongst your muscles

of mastication. When you uncon-

sciously perceive that the teeth are

trying to interlock, your muscles will

start a cascade of contractions in an

attempt to seat your jaw into a com-

fortable position. When the fatigue

and inflammation of the muscles

build up, the patient will start to feel

discomfort and pain as the facial

muscles fight against each other.

Your mouth is engineered to

sense the very slightest

thing...

The forces of the contracting muscles are

enough to wear teeth, break teeth, fill-

ings, and over the long term can result in

irreversible damage to the TMJ (aka; Jaw

Joint, Temporal Mandibular Joint).

Bruxing and clenching in many cases

can be attributed to stress or to your bite.

Malocclusion, or improper tooth position,

can also contribute to TMD/TMJ. When a

tooth has to be removed, in most cases,

your dentist will advise you to replace it

with an implant, bridge, or partial denture.

denture. By replacing the tooth,

drifting of adjacent teeth is avoided.

Sometimes the teeth are crowded or

mal-postioned and orthodontic treat-

ment is recommended.

When your dentist determines that you are

bruxing/clenching they will recommend

an Occlusal Guard (aka; Night Guard). It

is lab created and specifically designed

to fit your teeth and bite. Usually it is

made in a manner to reduce the perception

of the opposing teeth interlocking. There-

fore, it prevents the cascade of muscle

contractions that can unconsciously

take place when the teeth are perceived

to be interlocking. As the muscles relax,

the symptoms tend to improve. Occlusal

Guards are made of a hard acrylic. Even-

tually, over time a patient will damage and

destroy their Occlusal Guard requiring

a new one be made. There are store

products made of a rubbery material

that patient sometimes confuse as

functioning the same. Because the

rubbery material can actually trigger

a chewing reflex it can actually further

fatigue the muscles. Some insurance

policies will pay a portion of the cost

to fabricate an Occlusal Guard.

If you think (or know) you are

clenching/bruxing/grinding

you teeth, see your

dentist. Have a

full evaluation to

determine the cause to your symptoms. If

an Occlusal Guard is recommended, have

it made. Early intervention is best. There is

a saying in Spanish “ojo que no ve, cora-

zon que no siente”….loosely translated

“eye that does not see, heart that does not

feel”. As dentists, we have seen the results

due to long term bruxing and the damage it

can do. When we recommend an Occlusal

Guard to a patient, it is because we have

already seen the potential damage in other

patients. Whenever possible, protect the

teeth you have.

A colleague of mine who is famil-

I wanted to write about wrinkles. This

is what 8 years of graduate and post

years of experience led to. The way you

The Outer ShieldThe purpose of my career is to better

the lives of my patients. It is rare to

actually save anyone’s life, or radically

alter the course of a disease, but it is

possible to offer advice and alterna-

tives that can improve the quality of

someone’s life. The more time I reflect

on the most common concerns of my

patients, friends and family, the more

I realize that the most obvious appre-

hensions stare us in the face. A phy-

sician by vocation is more than just a

health care provider. We are there to lis-

ten to all the concerns of our patients.

They all come for a well fitness check,

or a physical concern; but during their

visit many topics are discussed. Some

talk about their kids, husbands, friends

or perhaps their job.

After 31 years of practicing medicine

and multitasking in the arena, I have

come to the conclusion that all of my

patients have a few things in common,

eventually. Time seems to create com-

mon denominators. As a young scien-

tist the hunger to understand complex

issues seemed to obscure simple reali-

ties. One of the first systems a medical

student must learn is the Integumenta-

ry System. This is a fancy way of saying

the skin. The skin is in fact the largest

organ of the body; it is our shield and

filter from the outer world. When one’s

patient grows older, and one follows in

the same path, the way you look be-

comes a source of insecurity. Common

knowledge shows us that new relation-

ships, jobs and interpersonal experi-

ence is pendant on how one projects is

visualized. In the end one word means

so much to describe a common prob-

lem in self perception, and first impres-

sions; ’wrinkle’. Have you ever lost

something? Searched all over, only to

find the object of your desire right be-

fore you? Human anatomy is what we

see at first glance. Histology is what

we see using different types of micro-

scopes.

The new knowledge about the cellular

make up of our form leads to a com-

plex vision of the human of the human

body. Just a few blocks from my home

is a street that bears the name of a

journeyman; an adventurer dedicated

to the pursuit of eternal youth. Ponce

de Leon thought he found spring wa-

ters in Florida that led to eternal youth.

In this same area today there a score of

plastic surgeons offering procedures

to restore youth. Ads and billboards

entice passerbies to seek professional

help to look younger. Over the years

facets of my practice have been dedi-

cated to understanding cellular struc-

ture and function. In fact much of my

time has been dedicated to consulting

other physicians.

So the book that follows is the attempt

of a physician to deal with a very com-

mon and universal issue: we all age.

That does not mean we have to take a

passive stance and just allow the nor-

mal physiologic process to move for-

ward at a rapid pace. Somehow or an-

other, all roads lead to self confidence.

One reflects a self image by the way

you walk, talk and communicate. The

skin is what we see when glancing at a

person. We don’t see the heart, lungs

or kidneys, but the skin. We should

never underestimate the complexity

and importance of the outer shield.

The eyes are the window of the soul,

and the skin is our protection, media-

tor of sense, and regulator of energy.

The way you look is the composite of

so many factors. Independent of each

factor there are common variables to

adjust the outer reflection, the shield,

the skin. Well, this is how I feel about

writing this book.

My job as a physician is to ponder and

study how to help my patients deal

with their concerns. It’s not just a com-

mon cold, or belly ache that I deal with

daily. My concerns are no different

than any of theirs. Not only are we all

concerned about how we feel physi-

cally and emotionally, we all wonder if

we look our best. For the last several

years there has been a tendency to

explore alternative ways to assist pa-

tients.

The evidence of aging appears in a

unique fashion depending on the in-

dividual composition and exposure of

each person. Some people display the

evidence of the calendar at an early

age, while others look younger than

their years. A true mystery, one that

is being solved in incremental steps

as we speak. The process of aging is

a complex and multifaceted; time af-

fects every cell and system differently.

The evidence of age is visible and

proportional to the life ex-

pectancy of the cells

which make up

each organ. For

example, red

blood cells

live for 120

days. The

y o u n g e r

cell is nu-

cleated;

the ma-

ture is bi-

concave,

while the

older is

fragile

a n d

s t i f f .

T h e

e x p e -

r i e n c e d

eye can

see the

d i f fe rence.

The cells which

make up the epi-

thelium, or outer

coat of skin, live

for 30 days. There

is constant birth

and death of cells

throughout ones en-

tire life. Yet one displays the change of

years in slow motion.

So, the reader can see that a simple

wrinkle is really the unique display of

cellular break downs, manifested in a

line on the surface of the largest or-

gan of the body, the skin. This is why

a scientist has taken interest in the

mundane worries produced by vanity.

In the book to follow we will look at the

structure and function of the skin and

later discuss the many manifestations

of aging. We will also discuss some

simple solutions to masking and treat-

ing the common problems which all of

us encounter, if we live long enough.

Mediation:The Friendly Way to Divorce

iN

By Damary Valle, Esq.

As a family law attorney, people ask me

all the time “Why does divorce have to

be so acrimonious, take so long, and

cost so much?” I tell them “it doesn’t have

to.” Many couples are opting for a friendly di-

vorce through the use of mediation. The emo-

tional and financial benefits far outweigh any

advantage from “fighting it out” in court. A

well-trained Florida Supreme Court Certified

Mediator can assist you in pursuing a friendly

divorce and will assist you in creating an atmo-

sphere of trust and open negotiation.

Mediation is the process of coming to an

agreement with the help of a third-

party neutral, a mediator. The

mediator will assist the di-

vorcing couple who wants

to cooperate to reach an

amicable agreement. Mar-

riage settlement agree-

ments address

property and debt division, parental responsi-

bilities (timesharing, shared parental responsi-

bility), child support, and spousal support (ali-

mony), as well as taxes, health insurance, and

life insurance.

Mediation has many benefits that can provide

a positive outcome and experience for both

the divorcing couple and their children. Me-

diation is far less costly than hiring an attor-

ney. It is proven to be less stressful and enable

couples to discuss family issues in a positive

environment and can become less of a nega-

tive impact on children.

Let's face it, divorce can take an emo-

tional toll on you, your spouse and

the children. However, with proper

planning and a desire to reach an

agreement, you and your

spouse can achieve har-

mony, fairness and mutual

respect.....

Summer Essentials

By Claudia AlonsoCM.Alonso@yahoo.comTwitter: @claudia_mariaa

The Miami man in the summer time

has quite possibly the toughest

challenge of them all- staying cool

in the heat. If you work in an office/

corporate setting there is undoubtedly

no two ways around the fact that you

will probably be wearing a suit four to

five days a week this summer. And yes,

though it is summer time and perhaps

you could go without a tie a day or two;

wearing wool slacks and jacket could

seem like cruel and unusual punish-

ments in late July and August.

Certainly not your stuffy wool slacks

and jacket but rather a Miami man’s

summer essentials!

The white linen shirt, be it long sleeve

or short sleeve is quite possibly the

most versatile, practical and timeless

item you could have in your summer

closet. This natural breathable fabric

helps to keep you cool in the hot sun.

Summer Essentials

Want more bang for your shirt

?

But what happens when you leave the office Friday af-ternoon and venture off into the cities endless weekend summer activities, what are you wearing?

Take your linen shirt out

with you to a bar for a few

drinks, and perhaps pair-

ing it up with a blazer and

some jeans for a casual

date night!

Pair it with your swim-

suit when you head to the

beach and instantly be-

come the dude with most

beach caché!

Finding the perfect sum-

mer short is like finding the

best, quick, delicious lunch

spot-- essential! There is no

better way to survive the

summer then wearing that

perfect short to any week-

end occasion! There are

two types of shorts that are

universally flattering: the

24

iN

ION

cargo short and the preppy short.

The cargo short is the most relaxed

and versatile option. Try pairing

your cargo short with your t-shirt

or even your white linen shirt for

an easy look when you head out to

the barbecue! The preppy short is

when you wish to look just a little

more dressed up for that family

lunch. Try finding the short in soft

pastel colors or even a blue and

white seersucker material. Pair

the preppy short with your favorite

solid colored polo, or again, with

the white linen shirt for a sharp

look. Add a brown or black leather

belt for a more polished look!

Slipping in to that perfect pair of

slip-on’s might be just as easy

as saying ‘yes’ to an impromptu

weekend in The Keys! The two

most fundamental summer slip-

on shoes are the boat shoe and

the leather loafer. The boat shoe,

made famous for its use on boats

by Sperry Top-Sider is no longer

just for the boat. Take this chic and

practical shoe with you anywhere

your summer adventures take you!

Try playing with different textures

and color, if not stick it Sperry’s

traditional ‘Sahara’ brown. The

leather loafer is the ideal way to

add a touch of elegance to your

preppy short and linen shirt. Con-

sider in investing in a quality leath-

er loafer-- this shoe will transition

with you from Miami’s hot sum-

mers to it’s pleasant winters.

Monica Suleski, daughter of a Polish father

and Colombian mother, was raised between

the traditional values of Philadelphia and the

trendiness of South Beach. Upon graduat-

ing from high school, she moved to South

Florida to attend the University of Miami,

where her love for design and business was

further cultivated. Her goal has always been

to acquire knowledge and culture, after fin-

ishing college she traveled the globe to gain

first hand knowledge on furniture production

and manufacturing. A doctor's wife, she's

a self-professed "machine" when it comes

to staying fit and healthy. Her Husband Dr.

Edmundo Tamayo, who is well recognized

in the field of Internal Medicine and founder

of the weight loss centers Fit4lifenow, share

the same views with her on maintaining a

positive work-life balance. As she transforms

homes, he transforms people.

Monica’s waterfront glass house sits on the

Venetian Isles. Ideal for entertaining; it’s a

constant work in motion- changing furnish-

ings as often as a woman changes her shoes.

Creating an enjoyable home environment,

Monica's specialty is one that doesn't need

to come with a high price tag. She likens it

to women who can wear a $100 outfit and

make it look as though it costs thousands,

saying it’s all how you put it together that

makes the difference. "When you look great,

you feel great," she adds, applying that same

wise adage to people's homes. "It is impor-

tant to have a peaceful, beautiful presenta-

tion in your home too," she says. It's a part

of a total lifestyle prescription that fosters

self-confidence and pride, invites relaxation

and comfort, and reflects happy "I want to be

there" emotions. Apart from her fast paced

lifestyle Monica manages to take time to give

back to the community by hosting charity

events in her Venetian Isles residency. Mon-

ica often visits schools to give motivational

speeches to the youth of her community.

"A house is like a woman, and like

a woman, a house needs to be dressed

appropriately for maximum allure. Ev-ery day that passes that it isn’t styled, it isn’t fully enjoyed"

Over 100 people showed up

outside of the restaurant, as

they sampled the delicacies

of Budare Bistro’s extensive Vene-

zuelan cuisine. Samples included, “mini

tequenos” (small pastry rolls filled with

cheese) and “mini empanadas” (soft

breading, folded over seasoned meat).

Guests enjoyed their delicious food un-

der a large white tent, with the cooling

breeze of electric fans, in order to keep

the pesky humidity away. While live mu-

was busy pumping out these

small samples, which must

have been a crowd favor-

Take a trip to Peru, without ever leaving Miami!

By Sergio Naser

El Señorial is a ceviche bar and restaurant that serves au-

thentic Peruvian cuisine, in a newly renovated location,

complete with ample lighting and fresh food.

Located on 1750 SW 3rd Ave. El Señorial is a Peruvian res-

taurant featuring typical Peruvian dishes, from ceviche to

lomo saltado or steak stir fry, as well as other grilled favorites,

such as churrasco or flank steak and chuleta de cerdo or pork

chops. The location has been in business for almost 10 years

and has been completely renovated in anticipation of their

coming 10th anniversary.

El Señorial features a well rounded menu; beyond their Peru-

vian dishes, they also have a selection of chicken, beef, and

a long list of seafood specialties. They have just completed

their brand new ceviche bar, which allows customers to see

ceviche prepared before their very eyes, similar to a sushi bar.

The taste of their ceviche is very refreshing; after coming in-

side from a hot Miami day, it was quite the treat to bite into

fresh slices of fish and calamari, marinated in lemon. A kick

of spicy flavor brought me back from my daydream breeze,

as i savored a hint of red chili in this tasty dish called ceviche

mixto.

Their menu also features many fried delicacies, such as

many types of deep friend seafood. Some of these dish-

es include fried shrimp, squid, and octopus, with one

dish called the jalea mixta, which contains all of these

deep fried delicacies, served on one mixed plate. Their

list of desserts ranges from the usual flan and 4 leches,

to Peruvian desserts, such as helado de lucuma, which

is ice cream made from the lucuma fruit.

One drink in particular

called chica morada,

is a common Peruvian

drink that can be found throughout most homes in Peru;

equivalent to a sort of "Peruvian Lemonade." Being quite

bitter, it caught me by surprise, but also tasted quite fa-

miliar. It turns out that this drink is made with cinnamon,

which gives it a very different flavor. For those who really

like the taste of cinnamon, this is definitely a must try.

In his previous album, Battle Studies, edited in 2009, John Mayer was not only in a relationship with Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson but with a new

affair called pop Music. In this one, in the other hand, looks like he has learned some moves from another ex, the country singer, Taylor Swift who apparently this time broke his heart. Influenced by the teenager, Born and Raised can be classified in the Country section in Music Stores, If they are still any. In his first single, "Shadow Days" Mayer tries to make us believe He's a good guy with lyr-ics that says "I'm a good man with a good heart", literally. The album conquers one more time with his extremely warm and luscious voice but lacks of variety.

In our Hearts can be the best thing We've heard from the electro pop band Hot Chip. More Confident, More Dance and More Joyous with lots of eight-

ies synth pop material as well as tons of groovy funks rhythms, the british quintet come back with their fifth album more mature, with a knowledge that makes them enjoying more not only life but their own music. In our Hearts is a proof that Hot Chip has not only succeed in their consistently music career as well as they have learned the songwriting process with mix of delightful melodies and well produced structures. Totally Contagious!

Hot Chip In Our Hearts 

By Leslie Ames http://leslieames.wordpress.com/

Specified ingredients:40 ml (8 parts) White rum30 ml (6 parts) Fresh lime

juice3 leaves of Mint2 teaspoons SugarSoda Water

It was made initially with tafia/aguardiente, a primitive

predecessor of rum. Mint,lime and sugarwere also help-

ful in hiding the harsh taste of this spirit, While this drink

was not called a Mojito at this time. Some historians

contend that African slaves who worked in the Cuban

sugar

cane fields during the 19th century were instrumental in

the cocktail's origin, Guarapo, the sugar cane juice often

used in Mojitos. There are several theories behind the or-

igin of the name Mojito; one such theory holds that name

relates to mojo, a Cuban seasoning made from lime

and used to flavour dishes. Another theory is that the

name Mojito is simply a derivative of mojadito (Span-

ish for "a little wet") or simply the diminutive of mojado

("wet").Due to the vast influence of immigration from the

Canary Islands, the term probably came from the mojo

creole marinades adapted in Cuban using citrus vs tradi-

tional Isleno types.

Preparation:

Mint sprigs muddled with sugar and lime juice. Rum add-

ed and topped with soda water. Garnished with sprig of

mint leaves.

The Mojito was a favorite drink of author Ernest Heming-

way. Ernest Hemingway made the bar called La Bode-

guita del Medio famous as he became one of its regulars

and he wrote "My mojito in La Bodeguita, My daiquiri in

El Floridita." This expression in English can still be read

on the wall of the bar today, in his handwriting.

MojitoCHEERS

Cuba is the birthplace of the Mojito, although the exact origin of this

classic cocktail is the subject of debate, One story traces the Mojito to

a similar 19th century drink known as "El Draque", after Francis Drake.
