Rum Punch, Everywhere

It’s safe to say that you’ll find rum punch on every island in the Caribbean, most following the easy to remember recipe originated in Barbados, one of the top rum-producing nations in the world: “one of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, four of weak.” As popular in Colonial America as it is at Caribbean beach bars today, rum punch comes in endless varieties, including this one from Elegant Hotels in Barbados:

Classic Bajan Rum Punch

1 measure freshly squeezed lime juice

2 measures simple syrup

3 measures Mount Gay rum

4 measures of water

Mix in a Collins glass over ice, finish with a dash of Angostura bitter and grated nutmeg.
