Rum of Choice for This Cocktail | Bacardi Rum
Bacardi is a family owned and operated Caribbean distiller, originating in Cuba. Bacardi produces many different types of Rum from white, to golden, to dark and more aged types.
This recipe features Bacardi “Carta Blanca” Rum, a white rum with a very neutral taste.
It’s light and aromatic with delicate floral and fruity notes which allows the the flavors of the added fruits to really set and bloom without overpowering one another.
In this Bacardi Rum punch recipe, we share with you how to make a single cocktail (and also, how to make it in a big batch) to transport you to a tropical destination with every sip.
What Ingredients Are Needed To Make A Bacardi Rum Punch?
Bacardi Rum “White Label” — The alcohol base for this cocktail.
Fresh mango puree — The ripper the mango, the better. If needed, substitute with frozen mango.
Pineapple juice — One of the main tropical flavors. Use homemade pineapple juice for the best result. Substitute with bottled pineapple juice.
Fresh lime juice — Only use freshly squeezed lime juice to really get the citrus freshness and aroma that’s needed in this cocktail.
Coconut water — For a salty coconut flavor kick. Opt for the water from coconut or bottled coconut water.
Angostura bitters — An essential in cocktail making. It’s a concentrated bitter mix made of herbs and spices that has a bright orange color. Do not worry if you don’t have it, but investing in a bottle of Angostura is a good thing to have in your cocktail cabinet. You are going to use only a few drops per cocktail like with a Coffee Old Fashioned so it will last you ages.
Optional: Coconut flavored rum — Add a splash of a coconut flavored rum like Malibu to amp the coconut taste.
Garnish: Lime wheel, triangle of coconut flesh (only the white part), and a few pineapple leaves
Crushed ice — Opt for mid-size crushed ice. Small ice cubes eventually water down the cocktail too quickly.
Useful Tools To Make the Bacardi Rum Punch
Cocktail shaker — To mix and chill the ingredients by shaking them with ice.
Jigger — To measure the pour of each liquid ingredient.
Juicer — For the fresh lime juice.
Knife and cutting board — To cut the fruits and garnishes.
Big balloon glasses — Almost any glass for a rum punch works. Just make sure to use one big enough to hold plenty of ice. Hurricane glasses or Tom Collins glasses or other optional tall glasses.
