Add Some Punch To Your Summer
Dream of yourself on a summer day, crawl in a hammock with a good book and long straw, sipping a delicious Caribbean cocktail called Trinidad Punch or just being with that special someone having dinner on a midnight's summer by the beach. Well now your dream can be reality, you can make this delicious Caribbean cocktail drink on your own with just theses easy to do steps. You can find everything at your local grocery store, West Indian store and wine store. This Caribbean drink is mostly made around the holiday time. My family especially makes this drink around Carnival. This is a holiday in Trinidad that is celebrated for a week straight, playing of steel pan and calypso and also playing Mas in the street. But it is also made at Christmas and New Years. In our family we mostly make it in the afternoon, so it would be ready for the evening time when friends and family come to the house after a long day of partying and having fun in the sun. To begin you will need dark rum, the best rum to buy is a bottle of Trinidad's Old Oak or Barbados's Mount Gay rum, and you may also use Barcardi Gold.

Following that add one teaspoon of sugar syrup, you may add more to your taste. If you don't have a cocktail shaker don't worry about it, you can just use the large glasses to mix your drinks. Put a scoop of crushed ice into the cocktail shaker or the large glasses. You may cut the limes and squeeze them directly into the drink or you may use a juicer, so you don't get any seeds into your drink that wouldn't been nice. Next, have your cocktail shaker ready. But your best bet is to go to your local wine store they will always have it. If you are making this drink in a large glass, stir and add ice. So that the ice would not speared all over the house or wherever you are making the drink. Is to get a cloth bag and pour about half of the ice into the bag and get a hammer or something hard and solid to hit the bag with. You don't want your guest to be too intoxicated or complain that they don't taste any rum at all. Begin to hit the bag simultaneously until the bag becomes somewhat flat. Then pour three measures of the choice rum I selected for you to use. If you are not using a cocktail shaker and using a large glass, pour a generous amount of rum into the glass, about half will do.
