Christmastime is about celebration and what better way to bring in good cheer than with a Rum Punch Cocktail that’s mixed with fresh citrus juices, Luxardo cherry syrup and rum. It’s all prepared in one glass, and swirled together with a spoon, before crushed ice, an orange slice and fresh mint top it off.
You can make it in a pitcher and quadruple the recipe to serve four people, but I like to make them one-at-a-time to give each and every drink that special touch. Cheers!
