  • Cocktails from the Future
    Some historians will tell you that the first cocktail was made in 1586 on board Sir Francis Drake’s ship stranded near Havana. The sailors were too sick to sail, so according to legend, Drake mixed together “local medicines such as mint, lime, bark from the chuchuhuasi tree soaked in rum, and cane sugar.” The resulting “El Draque” might not have tasted great, but it allegedly cured his sailors. This improvised concoction of ingredients (a likely precursor to the mojito) set the stage for nearly 500 years of spirited ingenuity. In the next decade, the ingredients we’ll have on hand to make cocktails will be drastically different: lab grown egg whites in your gin fizz, climate change fighting perennial wheat in your beer, or entirely new and unexpected recipe combinations designed by artificial intelligence to reduce food waste or maximize flavor. Getting creative with future cocktail recipes can help us think about how best to meet urgent, global challenges that extend well beyond how to sail our stranded ship back home. 1 These recipes are inspired by a newly released report from Institute for the Future’s Food Futures Lab, Food Innovation: Recipes for the Next Decade. You can download the full report at www.iftf.org/foodinnovation The recipes highlight ingredients that are today’s signals of change—small or local innovations that have the potential to scale and transform the global food system. These signals are emphasized in bold in each recipe. However, these recipes are artifacts from the future. While all of the ingredients are real companies and products today, some are still in development or are not yet commercially available.

Is it some dormant memory of Cancun, Mexico vacations past? Did we all come of age in a Texas honky-tonk, where swallowing the worm at the bottom of a bottle was a means to prove we had hair on our chests? Me, I don’t want hair on my chest. I want to have a good cocktail. I want to sip good spirits. And if you’re offering me a drink that requires me to first salt my palate, knock back a shot with my eyes closed, then suck on a lime to get rid of the taste..

  • Cinematic Image and National Identity in Fuentes9 Orquídeas a La Luz De La Luna
    SPRING 1984 3 Cinematic Image and National Identity in Fuentes9 Orquídeas a la luz de la luna Lanin A. Gyurko Orquídeas a la luz de la luna, the third and most recent drama by the Mexican author Carlos Fuentes, provides a fascinating evocation of two of Mexico's greatest cinematic actresses, Dolores Del Rio and María Félix. This complex drama constitutes a play-within-a-play. It presents two aging chicanas, Dolores and Maria, living in seclusion in an apartment in Venice, California, who identify so strongly with the screen personalities of Dolores Del Rio and Maria Félix that they—paralleling the self-deluded Don Quijote, who, intoxicated by his readings of the novelas de caballerías, sallies forth as a caballero andante— believe, in their self-delusions, that they actually have become these two cinematic stars. Thus they seek desperately to convince one another, the very audience watching Orquídeas a la luz de la luna, and the mysterious and sinister Fan who one day arrives at their apartment, that they are these two legendary actresses. Having failed at their cinematic careers in their native land, Mexico, the two central characters of Fuentes' drama emigrate to the United States, where they attempt to pursue the glamorous illusion of a Hollywood film career. Denied entrance to their El Dorado, they are forced instead to dwell in a limbo realm, a shoddy apartment that is more like a penitentiary cell, symbolizing how much they remain entrapped in their fantasies. Here the two chicanas engage in a bizarre cult of their cinematic idols, even constructing altars to them, thus from the very start transforming María Félix and Dolores Del Rio into household gods.
