Rum Journal: The Recipe For a “Naked” Rum Punch

By: - June 22nd, 2014

No, no — it’s not what you think!

Our latest Rum Journal recipe comes from our friends at Naked Turtle Rum, a terrific white rum that is doing its part to help protect the critically endangered sea turtles of the Caribbean.

Their recipe is called Naked Punch, and it’ s an easy-to-make delight by Naked Turtle, which is produced on the US Virgin Island of St Croix.

Here’s the scalable recipe for “Naked Punch”:

1 1/4 ounces Naked Turtle Rum
1 ounce Pineapple Juice
1 ounce Cranberry Juice
Splash Grenadine
Lime Slice for Garnish

Method:

1. Combine Naked Turtle Rum, pineapple juice, cranberry juice and splash of grenadine into a rocks glass over ice.
2. Garnish with lime slice.

Cheers!
