The Story Behind Grenadian Rum Punch

Rum punch is inseparable from Grenadian social life, originating in the era when the island's sugar cane plantations produced rum in quantity. The Grenadian version is distinguished by the mandatory final grating of fresh nutmeg over the top, a signature touch that connects the drink to the island's spice heritage. Every rum shop, beach bar, and household has its own ratio, but the nutmeg garnish is non-negotiable.
