Jamaican Rum Cocktail Planters Punch
Ingredients
Step by step process
Cocktail prep
- 1
Chill four highball glasses in the freezer or fill them with ice for a few minutes. This cocktail must be well chilled right from the start.
- 2
Measure the ingredients: dark rum, lime juice, simple syrup and optional grenadine. Prepare the soda water and garnishes.
Shaking and diluting
- 3
Fill a shaker with a few ice cubes. Add the rum, lime juice, simple syrup and grenadine, then shake for 10 to 15 seconds until the cocktail is well chilled.
- 4
Fill the prepared glasses with the remaining ice. Strain the cocktail through a fine sieve and top each glass with soda water. Stir briefly and gently.
Serving and garnish
- 5
Garnish each glass with an orange slice and a cocktail cherry.
- 6
Serve immediately, well chilled.
More tips:
No simple syrup on hand? Mix 60 ml of hot water with 60 g of granulated sugar, stir until the sugar dissolves, then let the syrup cool before using.
This cocktail tastes best made with a Jamaican dark rum with a pronounced character. For a less sweet drink, skip the grenadine or reduce the simple syrup by one third.
