Description

The Black Jack Rum Punch pays homage to Black Jack chews, the iconic aniseed-flavoured sweets produced by Barratt since the 1920s. Known for their bold liquorice taste and once-black, later pink-and-white wrappers, these chewy treats divided opinion but became a nostalgic favourite for those who loved their unique flavour. By pairing the deep, aromatic notes of aniseed with tropical rum punch elements, this cocktail transforms a childhood classic into a sophisticated, exotic drink.
