and lots of other stuff too-- in honor of President's Day, the historic Philadelphia Fish-House Punch. Supposedly this stuff was served to and by our founding fathers back in the 1700's. (Google search will reveal plenty of articles about it).

This will serve two:

2 oz Jamaican dark rum
2 oz apricot brandy
4 oz cognac or brandy
2 and 2/3 oz lemon juice
4 oz cold water
8 tsp sugar

Stir on the rocks. Very strong. George Washington supposedly had this punch brought to the thirsty troops.
