Rum Punch

Description

Rum Punch is less a single recipe than a whole way of drinking: rum, citrus, sweetness and fruit served generously. A good version should taste sunny and rounded, with orange and pineapple giving tropical body, lime adding bite and grenadine bringing colour and a soft red-fruit finish.

The danger with rum punch is making it too sweet. The best glass has balance: enough rum to feel warm and aromatic, enough citrus to keep it lively, and enough fruit to make it feel like a party. It is made for sharing, but it should still taste like a proper cocktail.
