In the early 1900s, it was not the Daiquiri that was preferred by Cubans, but it was the Presidente Cocktail. It was most likely created sometime around 1915 by Constantino Ribalaigua from the La Florida/El Floridita Bar in Havana. It was also most likely named after Cuban President Mario García Menocal. As the cocktail became popular in the United States, a dry vermouth became the standard for recipes but the original Presidente Cocktail from Cuba was made with a Comoz Blanc Vermouth.
The version today is a modern take on the classic cocktail from the Tropical Standard Book (amzn.to/432g9Jh)

i replaced the dry curaçao with JM Shrubb and it was excellent
This is a criminally underrated drink. I first discovered it a few years back when Glen and Friends did a video on it (2 versions), and decided to make it as a result. It's so beautiful and well-balanced.
The EL President is one of my favorite Martini variations. No, that’s not blasphemy. This is in that class of drinks with spirit+vermouth, with the Martini as the titular example. Prefer this to a Martini any day.
One of my top five favorite cocktails.
Truely one of my favorite cocktails. To me, it's the closest thing to a perfect sipper. I usually use just Havana Club 3 or Plantation 3 Star. And if I have happen to have Lillet Blanc at hand, I find it works just as well as Dolin. Also, I like to have it on a large chunk of clear ice :) Great job as usual!
Yes. I love this cocktail. Never tried this version so time to make some saline solution.
I absolutely love a presidente. I have found a really nice twist is to use the Ferrand yuzu curacao.
Delicious cocktail - I liked it enough to start tinkering and ended up with a more Jamaican version with Wray and Nephews, fassionola, and banana liqueur - as well as the vermouth blanc of course - and it's very tasty. Can also lower the Wray with a more mild rum if that strong unaged jamaican isn't your jam, but I don't think it's necessary.
Mmm...looks so delicious 🍹
Was hoping for a video on this cocktail sometime! I've made it a few times, always enjoyed it, but one time it was just outstanding--and I didn't write down the specs I used. Been meaning to try the TS next to Our Man in Havana.
My favorite up rum cocktail. Another great video!
Thank you!
Great video. Just read Imbibe!
I like that coupe, what is the volume?
I think 9-10 oz
