ABOUT
Featured in 1977’s Jones’ Complete Barguide, this was either created at or named after the popular 1930s bar Sloppy Joe’s (Havana, Cuba). It has all the elements of an El Presidente, plus lime to brighten it up. Another drink with the same name but different ingredients was also served there in the ’30s. Cheers y’all!
