History

In Jamaica, the rum punch's spiritual home, overproof rum is preferred. Many prefer this served over crushed ice to further dilute and tame the strong spirit.

The traditional ratios for this particular drink involve one part sour (lime juice), two parts sweet (sugar syrup), three parts strong (rum), and four parts weak (water, juice, or cold tea), a formula that is adhered to in the provided recipe.
