Delicious! This is bound to become one of my alltime favourite summer drinks. I make it with Rum Fire from Hampden, an absolute top class Jamaican white overproof rum. Instinctively, I used to mix a Planter's punch with that rum that tastes quite similar to this drink, using orange juice, lemon juice, Angostura bitters and grenadine syrup. But this original Jamaican drink tastes a little more rounded and smoother.

I didn't have strawberry syrup, so to try to keep some of the flavor profile, I muddled 1/2 of a strawberry and used simple syrup.
What a great summer time cocktail. Very tropical/Caribbean flavors present, and somewhat reminiscent of a rum-runner. Will definitely add to summer rotation.

I halved the orange juice and replaced Demerara syrup in lieu of Strawberry, spot on

Being big rum drinkers, felt this was missing some of the Jamaican funk. Added 1/4 oz dark Jamaican rum to add some depth of molasses flavour and more funk. Loved it.

replaced the strawberry syrup with 15 ml of grenadine syrup. Wow that was good !

Some people uses the strawberry syrup homemade, I've used Monin brand

Homemade strawberry syrup is delicious but needs good ripe strawberries and is a faff to make.

My take on this for tonight:
0.5 oz. Lime Juice (sour) 1
1 oz. Grenadine (sweet) 2
1.5 oz. W&N (strong) 3
2 oz. Pineapple juice (weak and part sweet) 4 combined with OJ
2 oz. orange juice
I also added about 1 tablespoon and a half of strawberry jam I had in the fridge.
This ended up probably a bit sweet, so I'd ditch the Grenadine and go full strawberry. Syrup or preserves, probably syrup, maybe 1 oz. or to taste for sweet/strawberry flavor.

JAY HURON 6y

Ooh, that didn't format well. The number after the close bracket is the ratio in the basic recipe.
I might also go with 2 oz. of W&N but it's probably good as-is unless you want it stronger. You can taste it just a bit which is probably good.

I watched a YouTube video of an old Jamaican guy making rum punch in a large batch check said the basic recipe was 1 part sour (lime juice), 2 parts sweet (strawberry syrup from Jamaica), 3 parts strong (the wray & nephew), and 4 parts weak (which was water in the basic version).

JAY HURON 6y

But! His upgraded version was similar to this drink with orange and pineapple juice, which are part weak and part sweet, so left the strawberry till last and added to taste basically, but his "secret ingredient" was ginger paste concentrate, again from Jamaica, but I'd think you could use some ginger beer and not have to water it down with more juice like he did. So I'm going to try and balance this like he did that bowl full.
