When it comes to crafting the quintessential Barbadian rum punch, locals and seasoned bartenders alike agree—there’s simply no substitute for the time-honoured excellence of R.L. Seale & Co. With a legacy spanning over a century, this esteemed family-run distillery has become synonymous with the island’s finest rums. Among their most celebrated offerings are Doorly’s and Foursquare, both of which are revered for their depth, smoothness, and character—making them the perfect foundation for a truly authentic rum punch.
The classic Barbados rum punch is guided by a beloved local rhyme that captures the essence of balance and simplicity:
“One of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, and four of weak.”
Translated into ingredients, this means:
- 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 parts sugar syrup
- 3 parts Bajan rum (such as Foursquare or Doorly’s)
- 4 parts water
- A dash of grated nutmeg and a few drops of Angostura bitters to round out the flavour
This timeless formula yields a drink that is both refreshing and deceptively potent, embodying the laid-back yet spirited nature of island life.
At Cocktail Kitchen in St. Lawrence Gap, this tradition is elevated with finesse. Their expert mixologists use R.L. Seale & Co. rums to create signature rum punches that are as vibrant as they are memorable. Whether enjoyed alongside small plates like crispy flying fish tacos, roasted breadfruit with chimichurri, or ginger and coconut bread pudding
