Rum Punch
New Orleans style Hurricane Rum Punch
The Occasion: Seasonal parties – Christmas, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, you name it. Also Friday night parties or anytime at all. You name it.

Why This Works: Punch is great for parties. One big batch of something delicious vs making individual cocktails for your guests. Um yes, that’ll work.

For big parties we usually set up a self-serve bar with a good mix of wine, beer, soft drinks, and spirits AND a big urn of the ‘specialty drink’ du jour. Plus a coffee bar. Drink responsibly, you know.

The Specifics/Subtext: We held our annual holiday open house last weekend – look for a party recap coming soon – incriminating photos galore! The theme was New Orleans Mardi Gras + Christmas & Hanukkah + Costumes. So naturally the specialty cocktail was a New Orleans style Hurricane done as a punch. Tasty tasty rum punch.

Of course you can make these drinks one at a time. Or make a pitcher to keep in the fridge over the weekend. Totally up to you. Cheers to having options!

The Playlist: Rock You Like a Hurricane by 80s hair metal band Scorpions. Turn it up loud.

The Verdict: Really good! The giant vat of punch we served at the open house was gone within a few hours and enjoyed by all who partook of it. You can dial the drink’s potency up or down as desired by adding more or less liquor and/or mixers. This rum punch goes down very easily so be sure to serve it over ice and use caution.
