next stop:

Colonel Beach's Plantation Punch

This was delightfully complex. I'm always a sucker for drinks with either ginger beer or falernum, but put them together and I am a very happy tiki-camper. This drink came out nice and frothy and this combination of rums work well together. Finally, the Pernod-Angostura combination adds that great bitter background-accent that subtly enhances the drink without dominating or demanding attention.

I would love to make this for guests but I have to admit, the ingredient list is pretty intimidating. This drink is probably best served for two.

Ingredients I used:

Fresh Lime Juice
Dole Pineapple Juice (canned but not from concentrate)
Reed's Ginger Beer
Coruba Dark Jamaican Rum
4-year Flor De Cana gold
Mount Gay Eclipse rum - gold
Velvet Falernum
Angostura Bitters
Pernod

My personal rating: **** (4) out of ***** (5)
