Ingredients
Directions
Prep Your Lime: Take your small lime and gently roll it on a cutting board with the palm of your hand to release its juices. Cut it into quarters.
Muddle the Magic: Place one to two lime quarters (depending on your preference for tartness) into a sturdy, short glass, like an Old Fashioned or rocks glass. If using granulated sugar, add it now. Gently muddle the lime to extract the juice and some of the essential oils from the peel. Be careful not to over-muddle; you want the oils, not bitterness from the pith. If using cane syrup, add it after muddling.
Add the Rhum: Pour the rhum agricole directly into the glass over the muddled lime and sugar.
Stir & Serve: Give it a good stir with a spoon until the sugar is fully dissolved (if using granulated sugar) and all ingredients are well combined. Traditionally, Ti' Punch is served sans glace (without ice) and "on the rocks cocktail recipes" are often less common in its native land. However, if you prefer a chilled drink, a single large ice cube is acceptable.
Adjust to Taste: The beauty of Ti' Punch is that it's always made à votre goût (to your taste). Take a sip and adjust the sugar or lime if needed. Enjoy immediately!
