Ti Punch

1 1⁄2 oz Rhum Agricole (Blanc/Unaged)
1 ds Cane syrup (to cover bottom of glass barely)
1 sli Lime (1/4 of a slice)
Instructions

In a rocks glass add cane syrup. Squeeze lime and express oils. Stir to combine. Add crushed ice to fill, top with rhum, and stir briefly. Let the drink stand for a minute, as the ice brings out complex flavors. Obviously, the better the rhum used, the better the drink will be.

History

Closely related to the Daiquiri and the Capirinha. Traditional to the French speaking islands of the Caribbean.

  • It's extremely similar to a Caipirinha and I still prefer daiquiris almost any day but the ease of putting this together and the unique features of a good RA earn this one a place in the rotation.
  • Sour Add Demerara?
  • Agricole Blanc, the most unique tasting rum in the world. You can taste the brine of the ocean and the fresh grass of the cane juice. Don't over sweeten this drink...sip slowly and take in the unparalleled flavor. — ★★★★★
  • Used 2:1 turbinado syrup--maybe brown sugar syrup would be an even better sub. Starts pretty good and gets better.

Comments

The drink is not necessarily chilled.
Many variations are appropriate too.
The one as described in the recipe.
Another, the same without ice. And another version more like a caipirinha, with more lime and with or without ice.

Some recipes allow nearly only peel, not flesh. Small piece, no ice, little syrup. Lot of rhum.
