Rum Punch Recipe
 
I found a recipe for Nat's Palm Grove rum punches on the Internet about 3 months ago and printed it out. I've finally been able to track down some guava juice to make it and now I can't find the recipe. I also can't locate it again on the internet. Does anone have any idea where it might be? It was on a page that gave a recipe for Palm Grove and another for either Cap Jaluca or Scilly Cay... I don't remember which the other was. <BR>

Try www.news.ai if it's not there you might even try sending the news.ai team an e-mail!<BR>Most rum punches in Anguilla are made with fruit juices, a splash of grenadine, a hefty dollop of rum, a sprinkle of nutmeg. Some float a little Amaretto on the top to "smooth" out the flavour.<BR>Don't be afraid to experiment. Good luck!

The recipe I use is as follows:<BR><BR>Equal parts of Guava, OJ, and Pineapple Juice....Rum to taste ;)<BR>(a sprinkle of nutmeg if you like)

Cathy, I would love the receipe too! I know quite a few years ago Palm Grove and Paradise Cafe(now closed)had a write up in the Sunday NY Times travel section! I know Paradise's yummy punch was on it! Maybe that was the article you found. I will have to do a search and see if I can find the article! Please post if you do!

No, I still haven't found the one that I'm looking for. I've seen sooo many different recipes. Nat's recipe was pretty lengthy. Lot's of ingredients. My husband reminds me daily (since I found the guava juice) how good a rum punch would taste... I did try another one and it was OK, but I'd still like to find Palm Grove's.

This is probably not what youu're looking for, but it looked good to me!<BR><BR>Sea Chateau Fiesta Punch <BR><BR>The quantities of the ingredients here are relative. How much you use will depend on how much of the punch you want to make at a time. <BR>1 "part" Hawaiian Punch <BR>1 "part" frozen limeade concentrate <BR>1 "part" frozen orange juice concentrate <BR>2 "parts" rum (your favorite) <BR><BR>Put all ingredients in a blender with ice and blend until frozen to slushy consistency. Pour into serving glasses and top with a sprinkle of zest from an orange. Add more rum to preference. <BR>Tip: If you'd like to serve this to the kids, just leave out the rum. The frozen fruit bases blended together make a wonderful special. <BR>

Don't forget a dash of Angostura Bitters!!

Try the Dole pineapple, oragne bannana<BR>mix or a tropical mix w/ the best dark rum you can afford.<BR><BR>Enjoy!!

Hi Cathy,<BR>I have contacted Nat at Palm Grove and he promised to send me the recipe. When he does I will post it here for you.<BR>I don't know if he uses Angostura Bitters, but I can't believe I forgot to mention it before! Glad some one else did.<BR>By the way, in case anyone is interested, a few drops of bitters in a glass of soda water is a great cure for an upset stomach.

Thanks. I've tried a couple of my own concoctions, but I'd really like to get Nat's recipe. Somehow, I just don't think that they're going to taste nearly as good in Wisconsin as they did on Nat's beach, though...

I mix mines differently<BR>equal parts OJ and Pineapple juice, 1 and half shots of equal parts of darks rum, half shot grenadine (rose's) and top with a little amaretto or grand marnea (???)
