While whiskey clocks in as the most beloved drink among presidents, at least 8 (so like 14%,) of presidents had a favorite drink that was a cocktail. Whether it be Martinis, Mint Juleps, or a Bloody Mary. In the case of Teddy Roosevelt, the Mint Julep was his favorite cocktail by far. Rumor has it that he would use mint grown from the White House garden for them, and would use Mint Juleps to entice cabinet members to come play tennis with him at the White House. Mint was first added to alcohol in London around 1800; the idea eventually found its way to the American South where it was added to bourbon, the rest was history. This simple cocktail with fresh mint over crushed ice creates a drink guaranteed to refresh.
