Ti Punch
As the name suggests, Martinique's national cocktail is deliciously punchy – traditionally made with 50% alc./vol. rhum agricole. And, even if you choose...

Thanks for going into detail about how lime is added to this drink, other sources were lacking in that regard.

I...thought I liked agricole before trying this. I still do, but hoo boy this is not a drink for me. I love that funky grass flavour of (in the nicest possible way) stagnant water and petrol. But...this gives it nowhere to hide and nothing to accent. It's very hot and very pungent. I'll put this very definitely down to "not for me" rather than a fault of the drink though.

What agricole rhum did you use? It's an awesome cocktail on itself, but emphasize on the rhum used. Lots of choices indeed.

I bought a Clement ambré VSOP to make our Mai Tai, following watching a very good video. Would it be acceptable to use it to make ambré Ti Punch ? I do have a Trois Rivières which is what I use normally.

This is my husband's go-to when we vacation on St Martin/Sint Maarten. It's really difficult to duplicate 1:1 when we get home (we live in the US) but LeBlon Cachaca is about as close as we can get in PA to the real agricultural grade rum they use on the island. We do bring some agri grade rum home sometimes but otherwise, this drink is a wonderful reminder of our vacation time.

Clement rhum is widely available in the USA. The green-label bottling best suits this cocktail.

Also known in french speaking parts of the world as a "demarreur", loosely translated as a kickstarter

( continuation of post below) To obtain this bouquet we distil by micro-part, which is not possible in large industrial processes, and rums from Marie Galante are produced in small quantities.
In fact, it is the rums that are closest to the original beverage that become the rhum agricole as we know it today. It's a bit like what genever is to gin.
Originally, ti-punch was made exclusively with overproof rum, hence the name.
Personally, I recommend trying it with a Pere Labat 59 rum !

Just to clarify, ti- punch is a cocktail that was created on the island of Marie Galante (one of the islands that make up Guadeloupe) on 27 April 1848 to celebrate the abolition of slavery in France.
It was composed using rum from Marie Galante (Guadeloupe). The special thing about these rums is that their fragrance bouquet is much more powerful, fruity and fresh than other agricultural rums.
