I'm 100+ drinks into this project and yet I had never tried a rum punch until this year. Which is crazy because rum is my favorite liquor (rum & coke will forever be my cocktail of choice at the rare open bars we go to, meaning maybe a wedding a year). But fruit juice with rum? Super easy drink that can be made in minutes? Yes, I am in for that.
Although, I made this on a Friday night up at the lake. Was photographing it in the 5 minutes right before the sunset behind the trees. I told my husband I needed a few minutes to make and take pictures of my drink, that I let him get his beers and now I wanted a drink. To which he pointed out that him getting a beer takes about 5 seconds while me making a drink takes at least 5 minutes and then another 5-10 minutes taking pictures. So...quite a bit longer than his popping open a beer.
This tasted tropical, was easy to mix up, and was a really pretty color. This lake weekend was our hottest in quite a few trips (I actually got in the lake beyond wading!). The baby is sleeping decently up there. We took the jet ski out for the first time in 3 trips (and Luke was THRILLED). It was a win-win-win of a weekend. Besides the fact that our boat wasn't working. Yes, we have (1/2 of) a boat. But it's a non-working boat at the moment. More to come on that when it's running!
