As the name suggests, Martinique's national cocktail is deliciously punchy – traditionally made with 50% alc./vol. rhum agricole. And, even if you choose...
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.
Wonderful cocktail. Made with Rhum Clement Canne Bleue. Loved the strong taste of Agricole and funk. Makes the cocktail. Next time would consider making with Rhum Clairin Sajous at 112 proof. It has a bit more of the cane flavour. Excellent.
Long time go-to for me. I prefer JM Rhum, either gold or VSOP. Martinique Sirop de canne is critical. Otherwise it's just a daiquiri made with Agricole rum.
You're right, the syrup is a key component and a "sirop de batterie" is a must. However regarding the comparaison with the daiquiri the fact that there is no dilution and less lime (and juice+oil vs just juice) makes it a totally different beast even with the same ingredients !
