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 !

Made this with Clément Blanc 50% - wonderfully funky, refreshing. Feels appropriate to call this Martinique's answer to an Old Fashioned.

Challenging and complex. Don’t skimp on the rhum - I recommend ‘La Favorite.’ Better suited for a scotch tasting than a tiki bar.

Pure agricole funk on the nose. Mild body, finishing with cloying sugar.
