History
El Presidente is an elegant Cuban cocktail of rum, dry curaçao, vermouth and a touch of grenadine, popular in 1920s Havana among American visitors escaping Prohibition. It was named in honor of Cuba's presidents of the era and embodies the sophistication of the island's golden age of bartending.
