Mojito

The Mojito is a long drink alcohol rum-based. The origin of the Cuban drink was invented by bartender and Angel Martinez, a Cuban who ran the famous bar "La Bodeguita del Medio in Havana, which is said to have mixed up the cocktail to tire.

The name derives from the word voodoo Mojito "Mojo" which means "Enchantment."

Mojito ingredients are: twig of mint, rum dry silver or white paper, sugar, lime juice and sparkling water (or soda). Served cold, it tastes very bitter due to the combination of fresh mint and tastes very strongly of rum.

Keep in mind that a mojito served in a bitter winter could arise due to the mint, so it is important that the mind is fresh and of course all the ingredients are top quality. So it is best to consume the Mojito in the summer months when the mind is more mature and less harsh.

A small variation, beloved by Ernest Hemingway, is to mix two types of rum, the first clear aged 1 to 3 years and the second amber aged for a period ranging from 7 yearold.

Ibiza, Biodiversity and Culture

Ibiza provides an excellent example of the interaction between the marine and coastal ecosystems. The dense prairies of oceanic Posidonia (seagrass), an important endemic species found only in the Mediterranean basin, contain and support a diversity of marine life. Ibiza preserves considerable evidence of its long history. The archaeological sites at Sa Caleta (settlement) and Puig des Molins (necropolis) testify to the important role played by the island in the Mediterranean economy in protohistory, particularly during the Phoenician-Carthaginian period. The fortified Upper Town (Alta Vila) is an outstanding example of Renaissance military architecture; it had a profound influence on the development of fortifications in the Spanish settlements of the New World.
