RUM PUNCH Cocktail Recipe

One of Sour, Two of Sweet, Three of Strong, Four of Weak.

That is the standard punch formula dating back to before the 1600s. Originating in India where it was a spiced fruit drink called paantsch, meaning five, it was made with alcohol, sugar, citrus juices, spices and water. Brought back by the sailors of the East India Trading Company, the first printed record of an English version punch dates back to 1632 with Jamaican rum punches emerging around 1650. A single version of punch is called a sling.

With today being National Rum Punch Day a really rousing ration of rum is definitely called for and this TRIPLE RUM PUNCH or Sling cocktail recipe is the answer.

Loaded to the yardarm with THREE rums sweetened up with tropical fruit juices this ought to get your swashbuckling into high gear. My punch ratio was 1 part sour (lime juice), my 2 sweet came from the fruit juices, 3 rums (strong), and the 4 weak came from 3 juices and the ice.
