Drink Name: Cane Farmer’s Punch

Recipe:
2.00 oz. – Rhum Agricole Blanc
1.00 oz. – dark Haitian rum
0.25 oz. – gold Jamaican rum
0.75 oz. – pineapple juice
0.75 oz. – yuzu curaçao
0.75 oz. – rich Demerara syrup (according to Smugglers Cove recipe)
1.25 oz. – lime juice
0.5 tsp. – allspice dram
2 dashes – Peychaud’s bitters

Detailed Instructions:
Shake with crushed ice, open pour into a collins glass. Fill with crushed ice and grate fresh nutmeg over the top. Garnish with an orchid.

Notes:
The concept was to create a Planter’s Punch around rhum agricole. Any blanc will work but I use Cheramie to give it a local element. The Haitian rum (I use Ak Zanj) adds depth while maintaining the cane juice character, while the touch of Jamaican rounds out the aromatics.  If one considers the pineapple as a weak element along with the ice, this hews fairly close to the traditional 1-2-3-4 proportions.
