Today I’m going to show you how I make El Presidente! This is definitely a good rum drink to know. It’s been called Cuba’s answer to the Manhattan, and was created in honor of Cuban president, Mario Garcia Menocal. The drink’s popularity outlived Menocal’s reign, so when President Gerardo Machado took office, he wanted it claimed in his honor. With the small addition of curaçao, El Presidente was altered to honor Machado and became the drink we know today. Regardless of the namesake, this is a wonderful rum sipper you should claim for yourself. Cheers!
