Comment:

In Jamaica, the spiritual home of the Rum Punch, they like their rum overproof (more than 57% alc./vol.) and serving over crushed ice dilutes and tames this very strong spirit.

About:

The classic proportions of this drink are 'one of sour, two of sweet, three of strong and four of weak,' referring to lime, sugar, rum and water respectively, a formula respected by our recipe.

Nutrition:

There are approximately 311 calories in one serving of Rum Punch.
