Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

(12-oz) can guava nectar
1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice
1 1/2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
1 1/2 cups rum
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
8 drops Angostura bitters
Freshly grated nutmeg to taste
Garnish: lime slices

Steps:

  • Stir together all ingredients except nutmeg in a pitcher. Serve over ice, sprinkled with a bit of nutmeg.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fruits: Fresh fruits like oranges, pineapples, and limes add a natural sweetness and tang to the punch. Avoid using canned or frozen fruits, as they can make the punch taste artificial.
  • Choose a high-quality rum: The rum is the main ingredient in the punch, so it's important to choose a good one. Look for a rum that is smooth and flavorful, with a ABV of 80 proof or higher.
  • Add some spice: Spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves add a warm and inviting flavor to the punch. You can also add a splash of grenadine or bitters for a bit of extra flavor.
  • Make it ahead of time: Rum punch is best when made ahead of time, so the flavors can meld together. You can make the punch up to 24 hours in advance, or even longer if you store it in the freezer.
  • Serve it chilled: Rum punch is best served chilled, so be sure to chill it in the refrigerator or freezer before serving.

Conclusion:

Island rum punch is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy flavor, and its hint of spice, it's sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a tropical drink to enjoy, give island rum punch a try. You won't be disappointed!
