Rum Punch Recipe
|
Punch comes from the Indian word "panch" which means five. The five refers to the fiver ingredients of sour, sweet, strong, weak and spice. The poem for rum punch goes: One of sour, two of sweet, three of strong and four of weak, a dash of bitters and a sprinkle of spice, serves well chilled with plenty of ice.
You will need the following ingredients:
1 measure of lime juice, freshly squeezed
2 measures of sugar syrup - see method
3 measures of dark Caribbean rum, the older, the better
4 measures of water
Dash of Angostura Bitters and freshly grated nutmeg
Place two measures of sugar in a saucepan with a little water and cook until the sugar has dissolved and add to the juice.
Add the rum and water. A good quality passion fruit juice can be used instead of water but reduce the syrup slightly.
Serve with plenty of ice, a dash of bitters and a grating of nutmeg.

Angusturas bitters - from supermarkets eg Sainsbury. Look on mixer or gin/rum shelves. Ang bitters are traditional addition to gin to make 'pink gin'. Just a few drops is needed.

We are just back from a wonderful trip to Barbados. We brought back some local rum and needed an accurate recipe to make some Bajan Rum Punch at home. Thank you for having this excellent recipe on your site. We don't have the sunshine, but we'll have the warm glow of the Rum to keep our happy memories alive.

I've tried to make the rum punch to, and it is definitely not the same as you would get on the island. I will just continue to have my friends to ship me a few bottles a year.

I'm not a cocktail guy I mostly drank Banks beer the #1 beer of Barbados. But the best rum punch I had was made by Ian, one of the guides on the safari tour. The great thing about Barbados, every tour provides free rum punch and makes you drink it.

Best rum punch on the island: Cutter's Deli near The Crane and Tapas on the way to Holetown. One drink at both will give a nice buzz even to a seasoned drinker!

The great mystery of "Rum Punch" is that a 'measure' can be any quantity you want. A bucket? Depends how thirsty you are. What's key are the proportions!

Anyone who asks what a "measure" is has had too many rum punches or should not have any. But to answer the question, it depends on how big a batch of punch you want to make. If you use "cup" in place of measure, total batch size is 10 cups.

Truly the greatest "beverage" of Barbados. There is really no way to explain this great drink, other than sipping one at the poolside, with friends and family.
