Tropico (video Game)
''Tropico'' is a construction and management simulation video game developed by PopTop Software and published by Gathering of Developers in April 2001. Feral Interactive has developed and published a number of the games in the series for Mac OS X. The games see the player taking the role of "El Presidente", who rules a fictional island country in the Caribbean named Tropico during the Cold War era and beyond. The game is tongue-in-cheek in its presentation of semi-democratic banana republics, using a great deal of humor while still referencing such topics as totalitarianism, electoral fraud, and the interventions of powerful companies ( United Fruit is implied) and the Cold War superpowers (the United States and Soviet Union). This is similar to the previous 8bit Game ''Dictator'' by DK'Tronics, except in Dictator the success is measured by the amount you put away in your Swiss bank account, which is an offshore bank account. ''Tropico'' features Latin-styled Carib ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

El Presidente (cocktail)
The El Presidente cocktail is a Cuban alcoholic drink made of rum, orange Curaçao liqueur, curaçao, vermouth, and grenadine. The original recipe calls for blanc vermouth. Some believe it is the only bona fide classic cocktail that is supposed to use harder to find blanc vermouth (Chambéry#Vermouth, Chambéry vermouth) and is frequently mismade with dry vermouth. While variations are made using other orange liqueurs than curaçao, the drink is traditionally meant to be red in color, so blue curaçao should not be used. The red comes from red curaçao, or when paler colors are used, from the grenadine. History The El Presidente earned its acclaim in Havana during the 1920s through the 1940s during the Prohibition in the United States, American Prohibition. It quickly became the preferred drink of the Cuban upper class. There are two rival stories of who the cocktail is named after. One is Mario García Menocal, president from 1913 to 1921.
