Tropical Ambassador Cocktail
El Presidente is a classic rum cocktail that originated in Havana, Cuba in the 1920s. Named after President Gerado Machado, this cocktail was traditionally made with Bacardi, the biggest name in Cuban rum at the time. Combining light rum with dry vermouth, orange curaçao, and a dash of homemade grenadine, the Tropical Ambassador Cocktail is a delightful balance of slightly sweet and dry flavors with a touch of citrus. For an authentic touch, use homemade grenadine to elevate the taste and presentation of this timeless drink.
