Planter's Punch

Jamaica's afternoon

Glass Highball
Method Shaken
Garnish pineapple slice, orange slice, and maraschino cherry

A Caribbean classic built on dark rum's molasses depth, brightened with citrus and sweetened with grenadine. Fruity, punchy, and dangerously easy to drink poolside. (The IBA's current spec is a stripped-down rum, lime, and sugar-cane build; this is the fuller traditional punch most bars pour.)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz Dark Rum
  • 1 1/4 oz Fresh Orange Juice
  • 1 1/4 oz Pineapple Juice
  • 2/3 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1/3 oz Grenadine
  • 1/3 oz Simple Syrup
  • 3 dashes Angostura Bitters

Method

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well until chilled. Strain into a highball glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with a pineapple slice, orange slice, and a maraschino cherry.
