Sweet Lime Ginger Rum Punch Recipes

GINGER RUM PUNCH

Steps:

• In cocktail shaker, add dark rum and light rum. Add gingerroot, then use end of wooden spoon to muddle ginger, releasing its flavor into rum.
• Add lime juice, orange juice and ice; shake until cold. Pour into cocktail glass filled with ice. Slowly pour cranberry juice into glass; garnish with allspice.

JAMAICAN RUM PUNCH

SWEET LIME-GINGER RUM PUNCH

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the water, sugar and ginger to a boil.
• Simmer over moderate heat for 5 minutes. Strain the syrup into a large pitcher, pressing hard on the ginger. Let cool to room temperature.
• Stir in the lime juice, rum and the 2 cups of ice. Strain into ice-filled glasses and garnish with lime slices and cilantro.

RUM PUNCH

Steps:

• Make a brown sugar simple syrup: Add the brown sugar and 1 1/2 cups water to a small saucepan. Stir to combine, then heat over medium and cook until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. (Makes about 2 1/2 cups.)
• While the simple syrup is simmering, juice the limes into a large bowl until you have 2 cups lime juice and pulp. Add 1 3/4 cups of the simple syrup, plus the rum, bitters and nutmeg; stir to combine.
• Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain the punch into a large pitcher. Add 3 cups ice and stir until most, if not all, of the ice has melted and the pitcher is cool to the touch. (Taste the punch at this point and, if desired, add more simple syrup or lime juice.) If not serving right away, refrigerate up to 2 days.
• Serve in ice-filled rocks glasses. Garnish with grated nutmeg or a lime slice, or both.

JAMAICAN SORREL RUM PUNCH

Steps:

• In a heat-proof bowl combine the sorrel, the ginger and the cloves. In a saucepan bring 5 cups of the water to a boil, pour it over the sorrel mixture, and let the mixture steep for 4 hours or overnight. While the mixture is steeping, in a small saucepan bring the remaining 3/4 cup water and the sugar to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and let the syrup cool. Strain the sorrel liquid into a pitcher, discarding the solids, stir in the sugar syrup, the rum and the ice cubes, and garnish the punch with the lime and orange slices.
