Ti Punch, a delightful beverage hailing from the Caribbean, is a refreshing and vibrant drink that embodies the spirit of tropical relaxation. Perfect for warm evenings or lively gatherings, this cocktail is not only a treat for the taste buds but also caters to a variety of dietary preferences, being vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free. With its low FODMAP profile, it’s an excellent choice for those mindful of their digestive health.

At its core, Ti Punch is a simple yet elegant concoction that highlights the unique flavors of white rhum agricole, a type of rum made from sugarcane juice rather than molasses. This gives the drink a fresh, grassy note that pairs beautifully with the zesty brightness of lime and the subtle sweetness of sugar cane syrup. The preparation is straightforward, making it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced mixologists alike.

As you sip on this delightful drink, you’ll experience a harmonious blend of flavors that evolve as the ice melts, releasing the aromatic essence of the lime and the rich character of the rhum. Whether you’re hosting a summer soirée or simply unwinding after a long day, Ti Punch is sure to transport you to a sun-soaked paradise with every refreshing sip. So gather your friends, mix up a batch, and let the good times roll!

Equipment

    Directions

    1. Stand lime on end and cut thin, half-dollar-size slice (mostly peel) off one side. Repeat with 3 remaining sides. Set slices aside. Into each of four 9-ounce short glasses, squeeze a few drops juice from remaining lime.
    2. Add 1/4 teaspoon sugar cane syrup (or 1/2 teaspoon raw sugar) to each glass and stir.
    3. Add rhum to taste, about 1 1/2 ounces per glass. Stir, add crushed ice and lime slices, stir again, and serve. As the ice melts, the flavors blossom.
    4. • Rhum agricole can be found at high-quality liquor stores and online at Sam's Wine (www.samswine.com) and Binny's (www.binnys.com).
