Planter’s Punch 👍

Recipe

  • 50ml golden rum

  • 35ml orange juice (~½ orange)

  • 35ml pineapple juice

  • 20ml lemon juice (~½ lemon)

  • 10ml grenadine

  • 10ml sugar syrup

  • 3 dashes Angostura bitters

Put a pineapple chunk and a cherry on the rim of a large wine glass, and fill it with ice and a couple more pineapple chunks. Shake everything but the bitters with ice, and strain into the glass. Add the bitters on top, stir a little, and serve.

Very refreshing and satisfying. The juice really hides the alcohol, so that you really wouldn't know you were getting as much as two units. If there's a problem, it's that it's too acidic – maybe more rum and sugar would be good.

I'd love to make a big bowl of this for a party sometime. If I do, I'll use dark rum like I'm supposed to. First I need more friends.
