A Rum Punch Recipe From Barbados

The Caribbean island of Barbados is considered the birthplace of rum with its first rum distillation by Mount Gay dating back to 1703. Since that time, it has perfected this fine spirit, mainly due to the quality of Bajan water drawn upwards from its coral caverns.  To experience this Caribbean cocktail, you don’t have to wait until your next visit to Barbados. Be transported to paradise one sip at a time with this classic Rum Punch recipe from TotallyBarbados.com. Cheers!
