Known and beloved around the world, Mai Tai is an icon of tiki drinks that have marked their presence in bartending history. Despite its exotic aura, the history of this classic cocktail is shrouded in controversy. Both, Victor Bergeron , known as Trader Vic , and Don the Beachcomber , claimed that they created the original Mai Tai. The difference in their regulations is significant, but it's Trader Vic's is more commonly recognized as the authentic Mai Tai, which was established in 1944 in Oakland, California.

About me
And short story about LEET DIET

As a choreographer and aerial gymnast, I had always been interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Diets had been my hobby, but I never truly enjoyed them until I discovered the Keto diet. After reading numerous books about how our bodies work and the benefits of a high-fat, low-carb diet, I decided to give it a try. I never looked back. The Keto lifestyle quickly became my passion, and I began experimenting with new recipes and meal plans. That's when I decided to share my knowledge with the world and created Leet Diet, a website filled with delicious Keto-friendly recipes and helpful tips for anyone looking to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
