A past friend of mine who honeymooned in the Grenadines long ago brought this recipe back with him and I have used it for many years. I found that substituting finely ground allspice for the nutmeg improves the flavor... at least to my taste buds.
Cheers!!
Bequia Rum Punch
3 C. passion fruit juice (24 oz.)
2 C. of both pineapple and guava juice (16 oz. and 16 oz.)
1 C. orange juice (8 oz.)
¾ C. lime juice (6 oz.)
½ cup grenadine syrup (4 oz.)
1 C. of both light and dark rum (8 oz. and 8 oz.)
½ C. aged or spice rum (Appeltons, Myers, etc.) (4 oz.)
8-10 shakes of Angostura bitters
1/8 tsp. grated nutmeg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mix all ingredients together in a gallon container. Serve in glasses full of ice and garnish each serving with a few additional drops of Angostura bitters and pinch of nutmeg.
The recipe as above will yield approximately 3 quarts. It should be plenty strong, however to serve a gallon+ at “Sneaky Pete” strength substitute these ingredient amounts as follows…
3 C. light rum (24 oz.)
2 C. dark rum (16 oz.)
1 C. lime juice (8 oz.)
¾ C. grenadine syrup (6 oz.)
If you are unable to find the more exotic juices fresh you can substitute an equal amounts of juice concentrate. Dole makes a Pine-Passion blend and a Guava blend that can usually be found in the frozen concentrate section that will suffice in a pinch as well.
