Cuban Presidente

>i'. ; ; /

Vx jigger rum

54 jigger French dry vermouth

1 teaspoon grenadine sirup

1 dash curacao

Rum first in the harglass, then the vermouth, Curasao, and sirup.

Put in the ice. Stir (never shake). After straining into the

serving glass, add a piece of orange peel.

This is the drink to toast the Cuban presidente (who

ever he may be at the present moment). A heady salute

for a nation's head. It might be mentioned that some

prefer their presidente with grenadine only and without

the Curasao.

those who have long believed that rum, to be good, must

come from Cuba, Jamaica, or Puerto ^co.
