The Story Behind The Barbadian Rum Punch
Barbados’s rum punch culture is incredible, and it seems like almost everyone on the island has their own recipe. (There is a poem on how to build a good punch: One of sour/ Two of sweet/ Three of strong/ Four of weak/ A dash of bitters and a sprinkle of spice/ Serve well chilled with plenty of ice.) This is my version.
