EL PRESIDENTE

El President Cocktail

I was looking for a cocktail that used vermouth blanc since I had a bottle of Dolin that was being neglected.  Enter El Presidente!  There are a number of recipes out there but I’m glad I found this one from David Lebovitz.  It’s a great recipe to play around with variations on the rum and orange liqueur to find the combos you enjoy best!

Recipe

1 1/2 oz Golden Rum (Dark works well, too)

3/4 oz Vermouth Blanc

1/2 oz Orange Liqueur

1 barspoon Grenadine

Orange Twist

Maraschino Cherry

 

Combine rum, vermouth, orange liqueur and grenadine in a cocktail shaker.  Fill the shaker two-thirds full with ice and stir until thoroughly chilled.  Strain into chilled martini glass or coupe.  Add orange twist and cherry.
