Table of Contents Rum 101Ginger Simple SyrupMore Rum Based CocktailsCitrus Rum PunchView moreView less This punch combines orange juice, grapefruit juice, lemonade, and limeade with two types of rum. Fresh squeezed juices taste best! I highly recommend making lemonade and limeade from scratch. However, if that is not an option, seek high quality lemonade and limeade. This rum punch uses a combination of silver rum and spiced rum. Ingredient IntelRum 101Silver rum is also called “white rum” or “light rum.” It is rum with a very light color (or no color) that is usually unaged or aged for a year or less in steel tanks. Commonly used in mojito and daiquiri. Spiced rum is simply a rum that has been flavored in some way. It can be infused with a single botanical or a mixture of spices. Commonly used in eggnog, tiki cocktails, and hot buttered rum Ginger Simple Syrup This citrus rum punch isn’t very sweet.You may adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more ginger simple syrup. Ginger simple syrup is made by mixing together water, sugar, and fresh ginger. This liquid sweetener is great for iced teas or coffee. It will kept in the fridge for up to a month. It’s a super easy, large batch cocktail punch that can be prepared ahead of time. Similar to a tiki cocktail, this drink is deceptively strong. The tangy citrus juices mask any alcohol taste, making this drink very easy to chug. To reduce the potency of this cocktail, you can add a splash of sparkling water or club soda with each serving.

And will totally skip the step of diluting it with sparkling water. Glad you enjoyed yourself! Looking forward to more beautiful food soon! Reply
