Wayne Curtis, a noted columnist for such publications as the Atlantic Monthly, Preservation, American Heritage, The New Times and others; and author of the book And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails; provides the following in the May issue of Lost Magazine regarding the “Tracking of a lost Cuban cocktail to its lair” and how to make the El Presidente.

“Yes, (Bacardi) would have been the original rum in El Presidente – Bacardi was omnipresent in Havana during Prohibition….I’ve sipped Bacardi white that was distilled in 1925 and, my friend, I’m here to tell you that the Bacardi of today does not even live in the same neighborhood.  If you can get some of Prichards white rum made in Tennessee I’d use that instead.”

Wayne’s Recipe is as follows.
Stir well with ice for three or four minutes, then strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange peel twist.

Add large chunks of ice and stir the mixture gently until well chilled. Garnish with thin orange slices and white grapes. Ladle into punch cups with some medium ice cubes.
