Planter's Punch (a Rum Tiki Cocktail)

A classic and very historic tiki cocktail, the Planter's Punch has the perfect balance of sour and sweet ingredients. My version incorporates a few additional flavors for a very special, surprisingly complex drink.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz fresh-squeezed lime juice
  • 1.5 oz fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice
  • 0.5 oz macadamia nut liqueur
  • 2 oz amber-colored spiced rum
  • 1 oz dark rum
  • Garnishes of choice

Instructions

  1. In a cocktail shaker, combine all of the ingredients EXCEPT the dark rum and shake well with ice.
  2. Pour using a strainer into a large serving glass filled with crushed ice.
  3. Gently add the dark rum on top, allowing the layers to mix partially but not completely.
  4. Garnish abundantly with fresh mint (which is traditional) and/or fruit as desired.
