Saint Lucian Rum Punch

INGREDIENTS

Serves 10 to 12

• 3 cups orange juice
• 3 cups pineapple juice
• 1 cup lime juice
• a pinch of cinnamon
• a pinch of nutmeg
• 6 shakes of angostura bitters
• 2 1/2 cups dark or light rum
• grenadine syrup (will give amount in the procedure)
• 1 1/4 cups simple syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl or pitcher, mix together juices, spices, bitters and rum.  Add grenadine syrup until the punch reaches the color of a flaming sunset.  Grenadine syrups differ in sweetness, so add the simple syrup after this point to your taste

Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight so the flavours can get to know each other. Serve over ice. Garnish with pineapple, orange, cherries, or whatever suits your rum punch eye.
