Simple to make, delicious to drink, this traditional recipe is a real Caribbean style punch. Using ingredients grown locally on most islands, folks did not have to depend on a seasonal fruit to enjoy their rum.

Denise adds...

If you prefer a sweeter punch add 2 parts sweet. Also "the most important part" a dash of angostura bitters and grated nutmeg.
