 X Marks the Spot Pirate's Rum Punch |
 |
Do not let the pleasant taste fool you... This drink could subdue even the BRG!
This is the traditional recipe for the Pirtae's Rum Punch which is never made in quantities of less than a gallon and is always served ice cold. The sweetness of the sugar and the sourness of the lime cleverly disguise the punch that it will give you after a few drinks. In case you drink up your supply and in your liquorised state find that you are having difficulty with the formula, this clever rhyme will put you on the right track. It is one of the Pirate's treasures in literature and it goes like this:
One of Sour
Two of Sweet
Three of Strong
And Four of Weak
...Well if it is not a secret anymore.
The poem represents the proportions of Sour (lime juice), Sweet (simple syrup), Strong (rum) and Weak (water). Here goes the translation:
Ingredients:
* 10 oz lime juice
* 10 oz simple syrup
* 26 oz rum
* 20 oz water
* grated nutmeg
* a few dashes of Angostura bitters
Method:
In a big jug, blend the ingredients with the exception of the nutmeg.
Serve in a glass with lots of ice. Sprinkle the nutmeg on the surface
