President's Paradise Punch
El Presidente is a classic rum cocktail that originated in Havana, Cuba in the 1920s and was named for President Gerado Machado. The cocktail was traditionally made with Bacardi, the biggest name in Cuban rum at the time. Combining light rum with dry vermouth, orange curaçao, and grenadine, El Presidente is slightly sweet and dry, yet balanced. For the best results, try making your own grenadine, which is far superior to the fake-colored bottled stuff, and will really let this drink shine.
