Back in the 1970s or early 1980s the Cayman Island tourism board wanted to have a signature island drink, that tourists could order in any bar on the island and get the same great drink. So they had a contest, then gave this winning recipe to all the bars on the island. Cayman Island Rum Punch 3 parts Orange juice 3 parts Pineapple juice 1 part Guava nectar 1 part Dark rum* 1 part Coconut rum* 1 small dash of grenadine syrup Mix or gently shake the first 5 ingredients with ice and pour into a double old fashioned glass. Add a dash of grenadine and garnish with a cherry. *I use Jamaican rum, they say to use Cayman island rum. However I later found out Cayman island rum is made in Jamaica, no sugar cane is grown on Cayman island.
