Being a big rum drinkers (we have over 25 different types), I loved this. It was refreshing, as a Planter's Punch should be, without all sweetness you can get from some. Great recipe. We have a collection of multiple Tiki recipes from the 1960s, this is by far the best.

If Noël Coward recommends a cocktail to Alec Guinness - ‘I think you’ll like this’ then you absolutely have to try it don’t you? If you’re paying attention to ‘Our Man in Havana’ you’ll notice it’s served in a coupé glass (I assume the electricity shortages meant ice was in shortage) but if you rein in the water a bit it works that way as well.

Noël - I never should have doubted you. Yummy.
