Hello Guys, Austin Carter brings you all to Beyond the Bayou Blog, a place where you get delicious recipes that are tried and tested. So the recipe that we have today with us is named Rum Punch.
The name “punch” comes from the Hindi word “panch,” which means five. Traditional punches were made with five ingredients: alcohol, sugar, lemon, water, and spice. But over a period there came different versions of this recipe like fruity punches with pineapple, mango, or passion fruit flavors, as well as spiced punches with cinnamon or nutmeg.
One such fruity punch with pineapple and orange juice is today’s wisdom. I have also heard that this recipe tastes even more delicious when served with seafood. So I have decided to try it along with Air Fryer Shrimp and Seafood Medley.
So are you all ready to light your parties with this rum punch recipe, with different variations to suit your preferences. Let’s do magic in fifteen.
