Want to experience a Caribbean drink, that is not a rum punch? These recipes are
drinks that regularly consumed in the islands.
Most people, when they think of vacations in the Caribbean, they think of all tropical drinks they are going to have. You know those drinks you have while lounging in a chair by the seaside or next to the pool?
Normally people always think of those tropical drinks with fruit juices and umbrellas poking out.
But to be honest, rum punches are not drinks that locals indulge in a lot. Yes, we drink rum. Yes, we make punches, but I can assure you that when we think of beverages, a rum punch isn't the first drink we think of.
We are more than just pineapple juice and mango juice
We indulge in so many types of foods, that it isn't surprising that we, as a result, make drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) with a wide range of ingredients.
So I'm here to share with you some non-umbrella holding drinks that we, as West Indians indulge in on a regular basis.
1. Guinness Stout Punch
2 Peanut Punch
3. Mauby
4. Cucumber Juice
5. Le Planteur
6. Ginger Beer
7. Chocolate Tea
8. Gully Wash
9. Herbal Tea
An amazing combination of native herbs, creating a delicious herbal tea providing nutritional benefits.
10. Fruit Punch
A combination of fresh citrus juices (grapefruit, pineapple, lime, and oranges) combined with a dash of white rum to make this refreshing fruit punch.
11. Ponche De Creme
Ponche de Creme (Punch ah creme) is a popular Christmas drink that is often compared to eggnog and coquito. This Caribbean drink is a creamy alcoholic concoction infused with citrus and nutmeg.
