TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums British Virgin Islands Rum Punch

Hi All, Does anyone have a rock solid rum punch recipe that they have used on boat trip or in general? Looking to add a few more batched beverage options to have onboard for the next trip

Ideally with Rums and juices available in the BVI. I will have Appleton Signature and Pussars onboard for other purposes. Open to suggestions.

And if anyone has Bombas recipe, well, you know how to find me!

We don’t do rum punch but will conjure up jugs of Hurricanes. Naturally Tasty in Road town does some meal provisioning for us (arrival meals, frozen pizzas, quiche, baked goods etc) and they supply amazing jugs of premixed cocktails - punches, painkillers, anything you ask for really. Awesome to have on board when we arrive - pour and go.

Skipper's Rum Punch
(swiped from an old BVI Cruising Guide)

Juice of 3 limes
1/4 cup Grenadine syrup
1 cup dark rum
1 liter of juice (orange, pineapple, passion fruit, or whatever)
Serve with lots of ice
Grate fresh nutmeg on top

Cheers!

This is our go to now....

Here is our go to Hurricane - it’s kind of a punch. Passion fruit purée is a must. French Deli carries it.

Juice of 1/2 lime
2 ounces light rum
2 ounces dark rum
2 ounces passion fruit juice, or purée
1 ounce freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup
1/2 ounce grenadine
Orange slice, for garnish
Maraschino cherry, for garnish

Shake and pour over ice. Also good frozen in the blender.

I start with rum, add some pineapple juice and mango juice, top it up with ginger ale and toss in a slice of lime.

In a 64 oz container we add:

12 oz each of OJ, pineapple, guava
15 oz amber rum or dark rum
splash of lime juice
couple drops of Grenadine is optional if you want it sweeter

Did you use the wrong boolean operator?

Thanks all for the input!

classic rhyme from down island

"One of sour
Two of sweet
Three of strong
Four of weak
A dash of bitters
And a sprinkle of spice
Serve well chilled with plenty of ice"

This actually works when you don't have what you want and have to wing it using whatever is on the boat

sour - fresh squeezed lime/lemon
sweet - simple syrup
strong - rum (duh)
weak - water or juice
spice - nutmeg or cinnamon
