#115 Cocktail: El Presidente

   Well, after almost 3 weeks of pause, due to the moving in another city and some problems with the internet connection, I am back with another cocktail from the Gaz Regan's great book.
    The El Presidente that I made here and that you can find it in the book is not actually the original recipe from 1920', but a deviation from that which in the same time is a twist of the daiquiri.
     The El Presidente earned its acclaim in Havana, Cuba during the 1920s through the 1940s during the American Prohibition. The cocktail was named in honor of President Gerardo Machado and quickly became the preferred drink of the Cuban upper class.
     This recipe, in my opinion, is better than the original one, using pineapple and lime juice instead of orange curacao and vermouth.

2 ounces light rum

1/2 ounce pineapple juice

1/2 ounce fresh lime juice

 a dash of grenadine
