Atlantico Rum Sweet Mary Mango Sour specialty cocktails were flowing among guests including Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Andy Garcia, model Cindy Taylor, Steven Bauer, Belkys Nerey, Lisette Chirido, Tim Hardaway and David Siguaw & Greg Cook of The Eden Roc. Liz Balmaseda, a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, has a gift for breathing human complexity into issues that many see only in black and white.
