Planter’s Punch

The PLANTER’S PUNCH is the purest and simplest of the rum punches. It’s also likely the strongest, with 3 oz. of dark rum in each serving. Even without the addition of pineapple or orange juice — as in the Rum Punch — it still bursts with citrus flavor from the lime juice. It’s sweetened with a minimal portion of pomegranate-flavored grenadine and simple syrup. But with no other juices added, there’s less sugar, fewer calories.

Requirements: dark rum (Myers’s Dark preferred), lime juice, grenadine, simple syrup, Angostura bitters, mint sprig (optional), lime wheel (optional), club soda (optional)

• 3 oz. dark rum
• 3/4 oz. lime juice
• 1/2 oz. grenadine
• 1/2 oz. simple syrup
• 3 dashes Angostura bitters

Add ingredients to an ice-filled shaker. Shake vigorously and strain into an ice-filled Collins glass. Garnish with a mint sprig, lime or orange wheel (optional). A dash of club soda as topper is optional.

Comments: While the Rum Swizzle is identified with Bermuda, the Planter’s Punch is identified with Jamaica and Jamaican rum.This drink allows some room for personal preferences and adjustment. Those who enjoy Myers’s dark rum will appreciate its simplicity. However, be mindful of its strength.
