About Rum Punch

 

Rum punch is a classic Caribbean-inspired cocktail known for its vibrant flavour, tropical ingredients, and festive reputation. Its origins trace back to the 17th century when British sailors in the Caribbean adapted a traditional Indian drink called "panch," which included five key elements: spirit, water, citrus, sugar, and spice. Over time, this formula evolved into what we now recognise as rum punch, with rum as the base spirit and a medley of fruit juices and spices added to enhance the experience. The drink gained popularity in the West Indies and eventually became a mainstay at beach parties, holidays, and summer gatherings worldwide.

Traditional rum punch recipes usually combine light or dark rum with fruit juices like pineapple, orange, and lime. Grenadine or simple syrup is often added for sweetness and colour, and a dash of nutmeg or bitters can give it a distinctive Caribbean kick. While alcohol is central to traditional recipes, using our Clean R offers the same sensory appeal and great flavour. Our zero-proof Rum replicates the warmth and spice of rum, allowing everyone to enjoy the iconic taste of rum punch without the alcohol.

Serve your rum punch over ice with fresh fruit garnishes and a festive umbrella for an authentic punch bowl experience. Whether you're serving a crowd or just treating yourself, rum punch—alcoholic or not—brings a taste of the tropics to any occasion.
