Taking inspiration from one of my favorite publications, I'm drinking the vintage cocktail El Presidente tonight while the states change colors on the map:
El Presidente
1½ oz. rich white rum
1½ oz. vermouth
1 barspoon triple sec
½ barspoon real grenadine
Thinly cut orange peel
Cracked ice
Tools: barspoon, mixing glass, strainer
Glass: cocktail
Garnish: maraschino cherry (optional)
Stir ingredients well with cracked ice and strain into a chilled glass. Twist a thinly cut orange peel over the top and drop in or discard as you prefer. Garnish, if desired, with a cherry.
*Note: I didn't have some of the ingredients, so I substituted with those listed in red.
**Also Note: choosing this drink in particular in no way should be interpreted as an endorsement of either political party. It should be interpreted, however, as an intolerance for an empty glass during the insufferable election coverage.
