El Presidente

First published in 1915's Manual del Cantinero, many consider this cocktail Cuba's answer to the Manhattan. Dry vermouth stands in for sweet, which balances the sweetness of the orange liqueur and grenadine. A rare instance of a tropical, stirred & boozy classic, this cocktail is a testament to the under-appreciated versatility of rum.
