    • December 2019/January 2020, Wayne Curtis, “Discover Cuba’s Other Rum Cocktail: El Presidente”, in Garden & Gun[1], archived from the original on 15 August 2021:
      Or maybe you just believe that limes are for summer, best reserved for daiquiris and mojitos. That last argument is debatable, but defensible.
      In any case, El Presidente is less daiquiri and more Manhattan, less summer and more winter.
