RECIPE FOR DAVE’S PLANTERS PUNCH
Dave’s Planters Punch is a new spin on a traditional recipe that has been around for years.
The new magic is in utilizing the fresh ginger punch and the bitters to bring out some of the exciting tones from the dark Jamaican rum
2 oz Jamaican dark rum (Appleton or Myers)
2 oz fresh ginger punch
2 oz pineapple juice
Pour the rum, ginger punch and pineapple juice in a tall glass
Then add a splash of Angostura bitters and stir the blend
Pour over ice, then garnish with a slice of lime, cherries and fresh mint
Deliriously delicious
