JAMAICAN SORREL RUM PUNCH

Categories     Rum     Punch     Alcoholic     Ginger     Christmas     Winter     Christmas Eve     Gourmet     Drink

Yield Makes about 8 cups.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ounces (about 1 1/2 cups) dried sorrel calyxes (also called jamaica or hibiscus)
Two 1-inch cubes of peeled fresh ginger, chopped fine
3 whole cloves
5 3/4 cups water
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups amber rum
2 cups ice cubes, or to taste
Lime and orange slices for garnish

Steps:

  • In a heat-proof bowl combine the sorrel, the ginger and the cloves. In a saucepan bring 5 cups of the water to a boil, pour it over the sorrel mixture, and let the mixture steep for 4 hours or overnight. While the mixture is steeping, in a small saucepan bring the remaining 3/4 cup water and the sugar to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and let the syrup cool. Strain the sorrel liquid into a pitcher, discarding the solids, stir in the sugar syrup, the rum and the ice cubes, and garnish the punch with the lime and orange slices.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality sorrel that is deep red in color and has a tart flavor.
  • If you can't find fresh sorrel, you can use dried sorrel, but you will need to soak it in water for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Use a good quality rum, such as Appleton Estate or Myers's. The better the rum, the better the punch.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. You can also substitute honey or agave nectar for the sugar.
  • Garnish the punch with fresh sorrel leaves, lime slices, or orange slices.
  • Serve the punch chilled or over ice.

Conclusion:

Jamaican sorrel rum punch is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a tropical cocktail to enjoy, give Jamaican sorrel rum punch a try. You won't be disappointed!
