Planter's Punch

We finally got the chance to talk with Mark, the Tiki Tender, in Florida (listen to the podcast to hear the full interview) and just in time—it's GORGEOUS here. Of course, it is only February and winter is destined to come back with a vengeance at the end of the week, but in the meantime we've shoveled off the deck, warmed up the grill and are fixin' to drink some rum.

The Tiki Tender generously let us share his recipe for a classic Planter's Punch. As promised, here it is in all its boozy, fresh fruity glory:

Tiki's Planter's Punch

2 oz Myers's® dark Jamaican rum
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 oz grenadine
1/2 tsp sugar
dash Angostura bitters

Shake with ice and strain into a tall glass with crushed ice. Add an ounce or two of soda water if you like and stir. Garnish with a wedge of pineapple, an orange slice, and a cherry if you are feeling festive.

Happy Hump Day, friends.

Cheers!
