Rum Punch

Submitted by: Site Administrator

Probably the best known Caribbean drink. Like "Puncha-Crema", it sneaks up on you with a deceptive "punch"!

Ingredients:

2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup fresh lime juice, 3 cups dark rum, 2 cups crushed ice, 2 cups cold water, 2 dashes Angostura Bitters, grated nutmeg.

Method:

Put sugar in a small saucepan, add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Lower heat and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and cool. Pour resulting syrup into a large container. Add lime juice, dark rum and ice and mix well. Add Angostura Bitters and nutmeg and mix once. Serve ice-cold and enjoy!
