About the Ti' Punch
Ti' Punch is a classic drink of the French Caribbean, particularly associated with Martinique and Guadeloupe. Its name is derived from the French expression for a small punch. The drink combines rhum agricole with lime and cane syrup, allowing the distinctive grassy and vegetal character of the cane-juice rum to remain at the center of the drink.
What does a Ti' Punch taste like?
Ti' Punch tastes grassy, earthy and spirit-forward, with the distinctive sugar-cane character of rhum agricole balanced by fresh lime and a restrained touch of sweetness. It is considerably drier and more assertive than many tropical rum cocktails.
Tips for making a Ti' Punch
Use rhum agricole blanc rather than conventional white rum for the characteristic flavor. Add only a modest amount of cane syrup and adjust the lime and sweetness to taste. Traditionally the drink can be served without ice.
