COCKTAIL RECIPE
Ti' Punch
Ti' Punch is a simple yet characterful Caribbean cocktail made with agricole rum, lime and sugar. With few ingredients, this drink highlights the aromatics of the rum and is considered one of the most iconic drinks of Martinique bar culture.
Ti' Punch is a traditional rum cocktail that originated in the Caribbean, especially on the islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe. The name comes from the French expression "petit punch", meaning "little punch". This drink is considered one of the simplest but most characterful examples of rum culture in the region.
Agricole rum is produced directly from sugar cane juice instead of sugar cane molasses. Therefore, its aroma is more herbal and characterful. Ti' Punch was developed as a recipe that brings this flavor to the forefront instead of hiding it.
“The true character is revealed in its simplest form.”
In Caribbean culture, this cocktail is usually drunk in the evening or before dinner. An interesting tradition is that the drink is often prepared by each person according to their own taste. Bars usually bring the ingredients and each person mixes their own proportions. For this reason, the Ti' Punch is considered one of the symbolic drinks that reflect the free and simple Caribbean lifestyle.
