Hey there, cocktail lovers! Laura from The Beagle Cocktail here. Today, we’re taking a trip to the Caribbean to whip up a classic Trinidad Rum Punch. This tropical delight is not only easy to make but also packs a punch (pun intended). So, let’s get started, shall we?

Key Ingredients
The star of our show today is Dark Rum. We’re using it because it gives our punch a rich, robust flavor that’s hard to beat. Another key ingredient is Grenadine, which adds a touch of sweetness and a beautiful red hue to our drink.
How to Make
First, we’re going to combine half a cup of lime juice, one cup of grenadine, one and a half cups of dark rum, and a dash of Angostura bitters. Then, we’re going to mix in one cup of water and one cup of orange juice. Remember, the trick to a perfect Trinidad Rum Punch is “One of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, and four of weak.”
Tips and Tricks
Here’s a little tip from yours truly – use freshly squeezed lime juice for a tangier taste. Also, don’t skip the Angostura bitters. It’s a game-changer that adds depth to the flavor profile of our punch.
Recommended Equipment
All you need is a large pitcher, a stirring spoon, and some glasses. Oh, and don’t forget the ice!
