Instructions for 1 serving
- Pre-chill a glass
- Shake all ingredients with ice: White overproof rum 45 mlCoconut syrup 20 mlCoconut water 90 mlLime juice 15 ml
- Strain into the ice-filled glass
- Garnish with a dehydrated coconut flake
- Note: Can be scaled up and served from a punch bowl or a large pitcher
Tips
- Lightly toast the coconut flakes before garnishing; it deepens their aroma without adding any sweetness.
- Strain onto fresh ice in the Collins glass; the shaker ice is already half melted and would water the drink down fast.
History
The Coconut Rum Punch follows the sour-sweet-strong-weak structure of Caribbean Rum Punch but replaces the traditional water and plain sweetener with coconut water and coconut syrup, giving the drink its tropical, coconut-forward character.
Caribbean rum punch is often summed up in a Barbadian rhyme: one of sour, two of sweet, three of strong (rum), and four of weak (water).
