It's Happy Hour in the Keys, so lets celebrate a drink from our friends 90 miles away with the El Presidente (history lesson at the end)
El Presidente Drink Recipe
■1.5 oz Aged Rum (Havana Club if possible)
■.75 oz Dry Vermouth
■.25 oz Curacao
■.5 tsp Grenadine
Mixing Instructions: Stir with ice, strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange or lemon twist. Raise glass and toast.

The El Presidente is a Cuban-born cocktail from the Dark Days of American tippling – Prohibition. The history of the cocktail is somewhat hazy, with several different bartenders credited with creating it in honor one or more Cuban presidents in various different bars.

The drink has often been lamented as a lost treasure from the heyday of Cuban mixology, when thirsty Americans – unable to quench their thirst for great cocktails at home – would sail from Florida to Havana. While most people think of daiquiris and mojitos when they think of Cuba, there are quite a few great drinks that were poured for travelers – many of which have been almost completely forgotten.
