Fine to get 7-10 folks buzzed, simple to bump up. [From David Wondrich]"pirate-style rum punch." All you need to do: stir 3/4 cup of demerara or turbinado sugar ("Sugar in the Raw") and 1 cup of water over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Let cool for 15 minutes. Put the syrup in a 3-quart bowl or pitcher and stir in 3/4 cup of fresh-squeezed lime juice. Add 1 750-ml bottle of the funkiest rum you can get (some examples: Smith & Cross; Myers's; a 50-50 blend of Lemon Hart 151 or Wray & Nephew White Overproof and Gosling's Black Seal). Stir. Add 3 cups cold water and a whole lot of ice. Stir again, grate fresh nutmeg over the top, and then, Wondrich says, you're ready to "set sail for the Spanish Main."
