Description:
Planters Punch is a Caribbean rum classic with many historical versions. The International Bartenders Association records a concise formula in which rum, lime, and sweetness form the base of the punch. It is less a single rigid recipe than a style: a rich rum drink with bright acidity and soft sweetness. The quality of the rum matters because fruit additions should not hide the base.
