Ti Punch - Tiki Drinks and Food

I think this is probably the prehistoric ancestor from which other modern rum cocktails (including the daquiri) eventually evolved. The rhyming recipe "One part sour, two parts sweet, three parts strong, four parts weak" is so simple, but can make a brilliant, balanced drink that really shows off the character of the rum used-- a whole greater than the sum of it's parts. My current favorite recipe is: 1oz fresh squeezed lime 2oz simple syrup 3oz Martinique Rhum (Right now,I'm a fan of Neisson Agricole Blanc for this) 4oz soda water Mix in a tall glass with ice, stir-- do not shake. Using soda water is a bit of a change to the classic, but I think it makes the drink more refreshing. Also, it seems that a Ti punch makes an excellent foil for the funky, nutty character of the young Martinique rum. -MR
