Rum Drink to Know - El Presidente

[@AndersErickson]

This is my favorite rum sipper! Also, from a purely aesthetic standpoint, don't these bottles look great together!? 🤩 Time stamps in the description. Cheers, everyone!

[@TheManyManyMore]

This drink was a revelation for me earlier this year. It’s perfect - even if you don’t love rum. Do you have any thoughts on the difference between curaçao, cointreau and grand marnier? I heard they are all similar but I don’t know which one is best to keep on the shelf for versatility. Thanks, and I LOVE the videos!

[@AndersErickson]

@@TheManyManyMore great question! Without going into specifics, the main differences will be in the levels of richness. Of the three, Cointreau (triple sec) will be the driest and Grand Marnier will be the sweetest. Curaçao will be closer to the Grand Marnier. If I could only have one bottle, I'd probably go with the Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao I use in this video. It falls in between the dry triple secs and rich curaçaos, and mixes well with a wide range of base spirits. I hope this helps. Cheers!

[@TheManyManyMore]

@@AndersErickson wow, this is wonderful. Thank you so much! Definitely helps a lot. Cheers to you both!

[@latin0heat161]

Anders do you have any recommendations for other drinks using Blanc Vermouth. I'm thoroughly enjoying El Presidentes but looking how else to use the bottle of Vermouth before it goes bad. Thanks!

[@djs022867]

Terrific cocktail! I subbed out Luxardo cherry juice for the grenadine since the only grenadine I had on hand was a bottle of whatever the hell it is Rose's sells as such. Quick question, though: when you refer to one bar spoonful of an ingredient are you referring to an American (5 oz.) barspoon or a European (2.5 oz) bar spoon? Cheers! 🥂

[@rachmusic9873]

[@BrianShrader]

I'm back to this video on election night 2024 because we wanted a President-themed cocktail. Glad you made a video for this one!

[@DanielBrice7f58a6]

I've tried a few variations. Here's my favorite El Presidente build so far. * 1/4 oz semisweet grenadine * 1/2 oz Gran Marnier * 1 oz Dolin White Vermouth * 1 oz un-aged Clement * 1 oz Wray & Nephew * 2 dash Fee Bros. orange bitters. Stir, and serve on one big rock.

[@_allcap]

Agracole and W&N.. you my friend are a monster lol I will have to try this next time

[@MichaelCoffin]

Just made my first El Presidente according to your recipe, Anders, using the alcohols you recommended. I'm a bourbon drinker who is somewhat new to rum, and what strikes me about this drink is how delicately sweet it tastes with zero sticky aftertaste. Super clean finish, tons of nuance, very easy to drink. Thanks for this tutorial and keep up the great work!

[@jays1752]

A surprisingly great drink. I sometimes like to split my rum 1 oz Probitas (or Plantation 3 star), .5 aged Caribbean rum (Appleton 12, Havana Club 7, El Dorado 12--it's fun to see the influence different rums can have), but otherwise I make it exactly how Anders instructs and his version is by far my fave, just perfectly balanced.

[@jordanpersonal1]

Not sure how you popped up in my feed, but I’ve become an enthusiastic follower. When we moved into a new house recently we acquired a nice wood paneled piece of furniture which looks like an ordinary cabinet. However in reality is a rolling bar that when the wings unfold it opens up its a reasonably substantial bar. I love the ritual of rolling it out as the unmistakable sound tells everyone in the house it’s happy hour! Always a traditional gin martini drinker, I’ve wanted to expand my horizons. What better way to do it than with classic cocktails. It’s become a new hobby of mine and I’m having lots of fun with it with your help! Speaking of hobbies, I also do a little shooting (Canon) and would like to pass along my compliments to the lovely, engaging and talented Az on her work! You’re a cute and fun couple, keep up the good work! I’m in STL but have a couple of adult sons up in The Big Windy, so maybe I’ll pop into Ward Eight sometime in the future and enjoy some refreshments with you! Best, Bob

[@alexdelbridge4581]

Love it! Would be awesome to have a follow up with other cocktails to make with blanc vermouth! I feel guilty every time I open the fridge and think about how the long the vermouth bottles have been sitting there and worry they're well past their best

Hello Anders! I have to thank-you for your wonderful cocktail and bar equipment videos. I have started making my own clear ice with the little cooler that you recommended...WOW! It brings the professional bar experience home. Also, started making the El Presidente cocktail....what can I say? It is DELISHIOUS! I sourced all the ingredients that you recommended as well as made your great grenadine syrup. I love your laid back style as well as all the information that you share! Please, stay well and keep making the videos that make this old wanna-be bartender S-M-I-L-E! Best Regards! Ron Star

[@fabiotadeup.santos9606]

Nice video Anders. i found Many Bartenders preparing with different recipes, I was really confuse regarding which one is closer than the original. I believe your video is the closest one, thanks for sharing. Your videos are always great, regards from Brazil

[@Nasosdag]

There is something about that drop of cherry juice sinking to the bottom of the glas (5:50) that I find fascinating. No matter how many times I watch the video, it always gets me. I don't know how to call it... sexy? Cool? Whatever it is (feel free to suggest a word), it feels like it's part of the recipe and anyone who orders that drink should actually watch the drop sinking, before taking a sip. Kudos to Az for capturing the shot!

[@juliussharrock5368]

Appreciate the historical background, SUPER Interesting! Can't wait to expand my bar so I can try more of your recipes

[@darma8030]

I loved El Presidentes through an entire bottle of Jamaican overproof rum. After watching this, I realized I had mistakenly been using sweet vermouth (oh my!) and corrected with Cinzano Vermouth Bianco to go with a Plantation 3 ⭐️, . All rum is not created equal and different spiritual combinations conjure quite different effects!! Now I can’t go back. I need a name for my slightly sweet Jamaican Manhattan. I love it so and look forward to my next acquisition of naval rum. Thank you Anders for lighting the path to spiritual enlightenment. It’s always an adventure!

Anders, I am making this cocktail tonight!! I am in love with Probitas Rum! The vanilla and grassy flavours that I pick up, when I use this rum are so delicious. I felt like it was a huge find when I hit on this rum. I adore it! So complex. Those flavours go so well with the other ingredients in this luscious cocktail! I am so energized by the lovely subtle pink hue after stirring. Beautiful! I make my own grenadine. It is so easy, and so much better than any product I have ever found that is pre-made. Fresh is best! This is, by far, the most gorgeous El Presidente that I have ever seen made!! And I realize I am growing in my skills with cocktails as I watch your videos! You have a great flair and skill for teaching! I can't wait to make this tonight! Fabulous video! You have the best cocktail channel going. I love it!! Oh! Yes, these bottles look fabulous together from an esthetics viewpoint! Lovely and it is fascinating how when something looks this way, with a line up of bottles, I get ever more excited about building the cocktail!! Have a terrific weekend, Anders!!

[@AndersErickson]

Thank you, Christine! It's so true, a beautiful bottle makes me even more excited about mixing a cocktail. I love that you're already a fan of the Probitas rum and you're making your own grenadine. Homemade grenadine is absolutely wonderful! It sounds like you're set to have a tasty drink this evening. Enjoy every sip and have a wonderful weekend!

Created my first El Presidente - and my first cocktail - with El Dorado 3 yrs and oh boy this was a let down. It didn't tasted good but I wanted it to taste it good. Other cocktails came and they were much better, specially the Hotel Nacional. Today I've used Havana 7yrs which turned out to be the excelllent component in this drink. Like you always say "Cocktails are fun, so have fun too" and try different drinks to create the version I like. Now I have my personal, quite delicous El Presidente - cheers Anders & Az :)

[@CoachVinoLLC]

Your editing is so damn clean and mean. Love it! I’ll need to look out for that rum. Blanco vermouth is sorely under utilized as a substitute to Dry. Does enough to create a nice riff.

[@AndersErickson]

Appreciate that, Vino! We’re finally getting the hang of it 😂 And totally agree with you on the vermouth!

I am going to try that tonight, but with 2 ounces of rum.

[@IbnShisha1]

For Leandro's Skrewball contest a couple years ago, I subbed Skrewball in for the rum, stuck with the Blanc vermouth, and topped off with Perrier to create the President Skrewb.

[@grxssly_incandescent2316]

el presidente is probably my favourite cocktail ever. the recipe i love using is one i found on difford's site, which involves sweet and dry vermouth on top of rum, bianco vermouth, curaçao and grenadine

I love this cocktail Anders. The best of all I had the chance to drink it during my visits to Havana back in the days. Can’t beat the feeling sipping this than sipping the cocktail in Cuba.

I use Plantation 5, Li let Blanc, and Dry Curacaco with grenadine.

[@wafelsen]

That looks like something I definitely want to try. And something about your look in this video makes me want to call you Doc like that character from the bar

[@Tubedyou13]

My elerly father-in-law turn 91 on the 4th of July. He was born in Havana and likes a cocktail before dinner. I figured I would try this one one. I didn't have any Blanc vermouth, so tried it with Lillet Blanc. A little too fruity, so added some Angostura, that made it better. Will have to do some shopping - my local Total Wine and ABC Liquors didn't have Blanc, only dry. But won't get that done before I have to make this for El Viejo, but I am sure he will like it as is.

[@frenchy1138]

I generally use David Wondrich's spec, which includes a couple of dashes of Angostura bitters and tilts the balance in favour of the vermouth. It really brings the florality of the vermouth (and Dolin is a superb choice) to the fore, giving you something that's boozy and fruity with a hint of sweetness.

[@utsteinproductions]

Made this with equal parts dolin dry and ferrand curaco, 3/4 oz each. Plantation 3 star for the rum. Still balanced, but a nice orange taste in the back.

[@brada1997]

Thanks, Gabriel! Love the call with Xocolate Mole Bitters. Being in Miami, do you ever find rare rums you couldn’t get in New York?

[@LiquidMemoir]

@@AndersErickson I wish its as easily accessible as New York. I'm lucky there's one liquor store in the beach that has decent selection such as Rum Fire, some from Foursquare, and Hamilton Rums. But whatever I can't find there I try to get from Astor Wines since they deliver here

[@AndersErickson]

​ @Liquid Memoir it sounds like you can still get some quality bottles, even if you have to hunt a little bit more. Good thing you found the store in the beach!

[@Lucky008aau]

Probitas FTW! My favorite white rum.

[@alexmol]

Just prepared one with Plantation 3 stars, it was really good!

[@kennyangel]

Mine is this: Havana Club Añejo Especial Rum Pinot Noir Based Sparkling wine, Brut (fermented in a bottle, Champagne for instance) instead of the Vermouth Triple Sec Grenadine Orange Zest Dash of Angostura bitters (still experimenting if this adds) The full body spicy rum and the dry sparkling wine complement each other, the rest as per usual. I mix everything in a mixing glas (except the bubbly), fill it in a champagne flute and then top up with Champagne. Created this to have a toast on Queen Elisabeth II (hence the Champagne) and I call it "La Republica".

[@yourlydontknowjack]

I once mixed this one with lillet rose simply because I had it around when someone wanted an "el presidente" - it's a very nice variation on it, like a french twist or something :D

[@samwisegrangee]

[@ShadowDzver]

I truly recommend you try it with a dark aged rum, it brings so much more character to the drink. Would suggest for most to use the mentioned curacao since the regular Coantro doesn`t quite work for me in this drink. Don`t go for the Jamaican funk rums either, if you can go Cuban definitely do so.

[@trevorbarnes2311]

The dolins blanc makes a nice white Manhattan “Manhattan Bianca” with bourbon. 2 parts bourbon 1 part dolins 3 dashes of angostura bitters and an orange peel. It’s a nice variation ingredient in a Negroni or boulevardier for something a little less sweet with hints of citrus.

[@AndersErickson]

Love this idea! Cheers!

[@tgillson3093]

I only had pomegranate molasse instead of grenadine, I think it worked out pretty decently in the end. Used about 2/3s of a teaspoon.

[@marcelog.2916]

Another nice one! Tnx n cheers!🥂🥂

[@geo34south]

This is very enjoyable and I agree the rum needs to dominate. Curious that yours remained straw coloured whereas, adding the grenadine to mine gave it a delightful rose colour, despite being careful with the ratios.

[@poforeman]

Agreed. I make my own Grenadine using 100% pure pomegranate juice and pure cane Demerara or turbinado sugar. It ends up having a rich deep burgundy hue which when added to this cocktail makes it very pink if not even reddish.

I am a huge Manhattan fan, and I had never heard of this cocktail. So obviously I had to try it. I just went with what was on hand… which was Bacardi, Martini dry, Cointreau, and shop bought grenadine. TBH, the first sip wasn’t great and I felt it needed citrus. Added a simple slice of lemon peel expressed over the glass- game changer. Now I need to get better ingredients and follow your instructions more closely. Thanks for the lesson!

I have made this drink (a few versions), and really want to like it. Mainly because I think it is so pretty. I haven't loved it, but I think it is because I have made it with dry vermouth. I can't wait to try your version, and I think I will like it much more!

[@padraicbrady]

I subbed Dry Vermouth (had it to hand, and love any excuse not to waste any), and Cointreau (triple sec) for the curacao. Bacardi Blanco for the rum. The flavor profile is heavy on the orange and grenadine. I think the store bought grenadine adds a little too much candy sweetness - I'd ration it more closely. I'm sure it's 99.9% corn syrup and red food coloring! Overall, I think it really needs a more influential rum component than the Bacardi Blanco. I can definitely see a more aged rum making this perfect (and better grenadine obviously).

[@КириллХорь]

havana club 3 is a wonderful rum for cocktails

[@Alexander-dt8sk]

Didn't have any grenadine but did have some pomegranate molasses which I use for cooking middle eastern fare. Too lazy to make my own grenadine so I just put in half the volume of the pomegranate molasses The resulting drink was delicious.
