This was a famous rum punch back in the day. Guests would flock to the Grand Hotel Oloffson in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to get a taste of this drink from the bartender, Joseph Cesar. Rhum Barbancourt — the national rum of Haiti — is a little hard to get a hold of these days, so give this one from Arcane a go.
Cesar’s Rum Punch
- 60 ml Arcane Gold Rum ‘Delicatissime’
- 60 ml lime juice
- 20 ml Monin Grenadine
- 5 ml sugar syrup
- 3 dash Angostura aromatic bitters
- Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a tall glass filled with crushed ice.
- Garnish to your heart’s content with pineapple, mint, cherry.
