Recipe Introduction


This is the traditional recipe for the Barbados rum punch, which is never made in quantities of less than a gallon and is always served ice cold. Do not let the pleasant taste fool you … some claim that it carries the kick of a mule.




List of Ingredients




3 ozs. lime juice

6 ozs. simple syrup (instructions follow)

9 ozs. rum

12 ozs. water

A few dashes of Angostura bitters

Grated nutmeg



Recipe



In a jug, blend all ingredients except the nutmeg.
Serve in a glass with lots of ice. Sprinkle the nutmeg on the surface.
Makes 4 servings.

To make a simple syrup: Use equal parts water and sugar. Heat until clear (sugar dissolves). Boil for 1 minute. Cool and refrigerate in lidded jar.
