Planter's Punch | How to Drink

The Planter's Punch is the foundational formula for a great number of Tiki Drinks, but it's also got its roots in oppression, genocide and slavery.

**********************************

One of Sour, two of sweet, three of strong, four of weak- or so the old rhyme goes. That's the roots formula for this drink, the Planter's Punch, and even though the Planter's Inn in Charleston South Carolina lays claim to the creation of this drink, there's almost no way that could possibly be true. The version I'm presenting here is a roots version pulled from the pages of the fantastic Smuggler's Cove by Martin Cate, not the gussied up version served by Trader Vic or Don the Beachcomber. It's a delicious drink, perfect for the dog days of summer, refreshing and cool and honestly perfect. I declare it The Drink of Summer in fact! But there's no way in hell it was "invented" at the Planter's Inn. Watch the video for more!
