Cocktail Colin says:
Rum Punch is a celebratory meld of sweetness, acidity, and Caribbean heat that tastes like a beach vacation in a glass. The harmonious balance between the zesty lime juice and the rich sugar syrup complements the fiery kick of the overproof rum, while the Angostura bitters lend a nuanced depth that intrigues the palate.
