CARIBBEAN RUM PUNCH

By LISA From Cooking With Curls

Are you an Outlander fan? If you are, then you know that tomorrow night is the final episode of the season…boo. We have spent the past few weeks watching Jamie and Claire swashbuckling their way through the Caribbean on their way to save young Ian in Jamaica. Unlike Pirates of the Caribbean, no one has mentioned Rum…or Caribbean Rum Punch! Maybe rum wasn’t the liquor of choice in the Caribbean back in the seventeenth century…..

but it is now, so I figured we should celebrate the end of this somewhat bizarre season with some Caribbean Rum Punch to drown our sorrows over the long wait ahead for the next season, and possibly to help us forget whatever Geillis has planned next, LOL I knew she was kooky, but I wasn’t expecting her to turn into a complete wackadoodle!

Caribbean Rum Punch is also perfect for parties. The ingredients are all easily accessible, and the quantities can be increased to fill a punch bowl.

Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake well to combine.

Serve over ice in a short cocktail glass. {mine are similar to these, but slightly smaller} affiliate link

Garnish with an orange slice an a cherry.

Now kick back, relax, and imagine you are laying on a white sand beach listening to the ocean waves.

Notes:

Chill the pineapple and orange juices ahead of time so your ice doesn’t melt as fast.
Angostura Bitters are found on the top shelf of the mixers aisle in most grocery store liquor departments. Unless you live in the 29 states that do not allow liquor sales, in which case I am not sure where it would be located…sorry.
For a spicier cocktail, use spiced dark rum.
I was shocked when I read that only 21 states allow liquor sales in grocery stores, and 37 allow liquor sales on Sundays. So in 16 states you can only buy alcohol on Sundays? So strange, LOL
