Ti' Punch - Martinique, Guadeloupe image

A popular drink all over the French West Indies. This apéritif is consumed on a daily basis. Ti is patois for petit which means small. However don't let the size fool you it packs quite a punch! Ça chauffe le coeur et les entrailles! You'll speak French for sure! With only three ingredients, it couldn't be any simpler but I implore you to use a good quality rum.

Time 5m

Yield 1 glass, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 ounces white rum (50 to 55 proof or dark rum from 43 proof)
1 teaspoon brown sugar (if using dark rum use a little less sugar. You will have to experiment to find what suits you) or 1 ounce cane sugar syrup
1 lime

Steps:

  • Pour the syrup or sugar in a glass.
  • Squeeze half of lime into a glass. After squeezing go ahead and drop it into the glass. Cut a slice from the unused half and use to garnish the rim of the glass.
  • Add the rum and swirl the glass slowly with love.
  • Breathe in the sweet perfume which arises and let yourself soak up the flavours of Les Antilles.
  • Your punch is almost ready, all that is left now is to sip it slowly among friends and -- with moderation! Seriously one of these is enough if you don't intend to be comatose before the meal.
