My father taught me a little rhyme a long time ago...
One of Sour,
Two of Sweet,
Three of Strong,
And Four of Weak.
This nursery rhyme is for adults only. It details the basics of making a rum punch or Grog as it is sometimes referred to (especially if you eschew the use of fruit punch in the ingredients). Each number refers to a measure which can be an ounce (or a cup), as long as you are consistent with your measure.
So for example, here's how my family does it:
1 oz Freshly squeezed lime juice
2 oz Brown Sugar simple syrup
3 oz Appleton Rum (I am using Signature blend in this example)
4 oz Water (filtered water mind you, unless you have great tasting tap water LOL!)
It is as simple as stirring together in a mixing glass/container and serving over ice with a lime wheel garnish
Variations abound and may include fruit juice for the 2 parts of sweet, and I've seen some people put a stick of cinnamon in there as well. Take this recipe and make it your own!
