About this episode
Planter’s Punch is more than a recipe — it’s a rhyme, a debate, and a cornerstone of rum history. From “one of sour, two of sweet” to its place at Kingston’s Myrtle Bank Hotel, this punch has always been bigger than the sum of its parts. Guiding us through it all is Christian Favier of Charleston’s Seahorse, bartender and educator on the deep ties between rum, history, and culture. Listen on (or read below) to discover Christian's Planter's Punch recipe — and don't forget to leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts!
