Refreshing Caribbean cocktails made with natural juices, and with or without rum and Cachaça!
Another favorite straight from the Caribbean! Rum Punch can be found almost anywhere from Cuba to Trinidad & Tobago. Each island has its own version of it but they all require two main ingredients: fresh fruit juice and rum!
I decide to honor the traditional Rum Punch from the Dominican Republic but with a Brazilian twist! Don’t be fooled by the fruity flavor. This cocktail could bring and elephant down! It is fruity but it packs a punch... pun intended!
Now... I know that not everyone drinks and that’s ok because you can make this alcohol free! Instead of Rum Punch, you can make a traditional Caribbean Fruit Punch! Just skip the alcohol and add mango or guava juice and voilà... you have a wonderful and refreshing drink for all to enjoy!!!
Let’s make it!
