Mexico City is the capital city of Mexico. It is the most important economic, industrial and cultural center in the country, and the most populous city with 8,720,916 inhabitants in 2005.
Mexico (Me-hi-co) City was founded as Mexico-Tenochtitlan in March 18, 1325 by the Nahua Aztec or Mexican tribe, which rapidly became the capital of a sophisticated growing empire. Located on a small island on the middle of Lake Texcoco, the layout of the city forced the Aztecs to build an artificial island and create a series of canals to allow the growth of the metropolis. A number of causeways were also constructed from the shoreline to the central island. These causeways are the foundation of the various calzadas which are today principal avenues in Mexico City. In fact, although the lake was salty, dams built by the Aztecs kept the city surrounded by clear water from the rivers that fed the lake.
Invented at Tres Agaves in San Francisco, bartender Jacques Bezuidenhout was trying to find a way to feature Oaky Anejo Tequila. Cherry Heering, a Danish liqueur made with cherry brandy, balances the woody flavor.

Albert Einstein born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany. Albert was a German-born theoretical physicist. He is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E = mc2. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.” Einstein died on April 18, 1955 from internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an aortic aneurism.
