Recipe Planter's Punch

[CraigC]

Back in the '70s and '80s, there was a restaurant called the Kapok Tree Inn. This punch was a specialty. You have to be very careful with these as you won't know they are sneaking up on you! The restaurant has since closed and I'm not sure if the one in Maryland is still open.

Planter's Punch
Ingredients
2 oz Orange juice
2 oz Pineapple
2 oz Lime juice -- sweetened (we make a simple syrup and add the lime juice in a large batch)
1 1/4 oz White rum
1 1/2 oz Amber rum (Cruzan, from Barbados if possible)
1 1/4 oz Myer's Jamaican rum
2 Tbsp Grenadine -- divided
1 1/4 oz Myer's Jamaican dark rum
Directions
1) Mix orange juice, pineapple juice, lime juice, white rum, amber rum, 1 1/4 oz. Jamaican rum, and 1 Tbsp
grenadine; shake well.
2) Pour into glass filled with ice.
3) Float 1 Tbsp grenadine and float 1 1/4 oz Jamaican rum on top.

Warning: Be prepared to call a Taxi for the ride home or have a designated drive. These things are deadly.

I'll have to give this recipe to my daughter and son-in-law. They are more likely to drink it than I ever am (too much rum for me ). I'm more a gin and pernod drinker, particularly as a chaser to a nice cool beer

Gin and Pernod together? I am a Pernod fan - I have some at the moment. I'm thinking celery, Pernod recipe for the Recipe Challenge...

OK. What are the proportions for this deadly cocktail?

Whatever you like One of the pubs I used to go in always put more gin in than Pernod. Another one used to do half and half. Once you've had a couple of them, it doesn't really matter

Do you think vodka would work too? I don't have gin...

I've never had Pernod with vodka in it, but there are four cocktails here which you might like to try http://bartenderapp.com/ingredients/pernod/cocktails/list_by_ingredient
