The Story Behind Rum Punch

Rum punch has been the signature cocktail of the Caribbean since the colonial sugar plantation era. In Belize, local rums like One Barrel and Travellers form the base of this tropical drink. The recipe varies from bar to bar and island to island, but the combination of rum with tropical fruit juices remains constant, embodying the laid-back spirit of Belizean beach culture.
