Presidente Cocktail

Posted in : Blanco Vermouth, Curaçao, Ron on by : Nick Hancock

1 oz 30 ml Havana Club Seleccíon de Maestros, 45% ABV
1 oz 30 ml Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry Blanc, 16% ABV
¼ oz 7.5 ml Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao Triple Sec, 40% ABV
Orange peel

Add all ingredients into a mixing glass with ice and twist orange peel and drop into glass. Stir for at least 30 seconds to chill. Strain into a chilled Nick & Nora or small cocktail glass. Optionally garnish with a Luxardo maraschino cherry.

Puerto Rican and U.S. Virgin Island rums, such as Cruzan® Single Barrel Rum, would be an alternative to the Cuban rum. Using such premium rums does make the cocktail quite pricey, but the result speaks for ifself. To achieve a great cocktail use great ingredients.

This expression omits using grenadine, because the cocktail is simply perfect without it.
