Rum punch bowl

The punch bowl is the king of social drinks. The essence is 'marrying': the fruits take on the taste of the alcohol, and the alcohol takes on the fruit (osmosis). Due to the large amount of liquid and ice, this is a 'long drink' to be sipped slowly.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Large punch bowl with ladle

Instructions

1

Mix the rum, fruit juices, and syrup in the bowl.

Tip: Taste it! The sweetness of fruit juices varies; you might need more acid (lemon juice) or sugar.
2

Add the fruit slices and let stand in the fridge for 1-2 hours (if you have time).

Tip: This time is needed for the flavours to marry (maceration).
3

Just before guests arrive, pour in the ice and soda water.

Tip: The ice chills, the soda refreshes.

Recipe FAQ

When should I add the soda?
Immediately before serving. If you add it sooner, the fizz goes, and the drink becomes 'flat'.
