My cousin’s husband Mr. Martin showed us how to make the best Jamaican Rum Punch back in
the early 60’s. He formula was very simple “one a sour, two a sweet, three a strong and four a
weak”
Back in those days every Jamaican Party would have Rum Punch and Curried Goat and of
course, very loud music from a sound system. Rum Punch can be very potent because of the
over proof white rum used in the mix. To tame it down a bit, these days we add orange juice to
make a very delicious and refreshing Planter’s Punch.
INGREDIENTS
one (1) portion of freshly squeezed lime juice ; two (2) portions of Jamaican Strawberry syrup
(look for Grace Strawberry Syrup in the supermarket) ; three (3) portions of Wray and Nephew
Over Proof white rum ; four (4) portions of pineapple juice.
Before you start mixing, make sure that you will have the necessary amount of each portion
required.
