What is a rum punch?

The invention of rum alcohol is credited to the New World and especially to the Caribbean, where sugar cane has prolonged and has become an inspiration for rum. Previously, in Europe, most types of punch were mixed drinks with wine or brandy as basic alcohol. Usually such drinks contained some flavor of citrus, several spices and maybe honey as a sweetener. Until 1655, rum would become available in Europe and there are several explanations on how Rum Punch has got its name. Alternatively, the term Panch , Hinde word, describes a drink from sugar, lemon, water, tea, spices and possibly serrack, a fermented drink that can be made of sugar cane, resembling rum. Rum Punch is quite similar to its Forbears, a combination of sweet, acidic and spicy ingredients that can be served hot or cold. The poem in 1908, printed in The New York Times , suggests a list of folders. It is likely that thisA rum blow far is preceded by a poem. The excerpt describes the basic folders:

    Take two acidic (lime, let it be)
    
 To one and a half sweet,
    Old jamaica pour three strong,
    And add four parts of the weak.

    Then mix and drink….

For those who prefer direct explanations, this type of rum stroke would be two parts of lime juice, one and a half parts of a simple syrup (grenadin can be used), three parts of rum and four parts of water, usually carbonated. May be added bitter. Some recipes require a little cayenne pepper that gives the drink a little kick. The poem suggests drinking a punch of cold and on hot days.

Other types of rum strike can replace variety ingredients. Mainly, however, you will find a mixture of aroma citrus, lots of rum and possibly different kinds of fruit juice and spices. Some recipes require the addition of other alcohols such as Triple Sec, adding.

All types of blows were flourishing in Europe. You cannot go through the novel Dickens without encountering the occurrence of links to punch, often hot, usually using brandy as the main components. These drinks resemble a rum blow, but can only differ in alcohols used. Today, however, you will most likely come across Rum Punch, as it is served in the Caribbean, although you can definitely order cold versions in any local bar for a little island taste, without traveling.
