Hey Folks, today we’re making Donn the Beachcomber’s, 1937, Planters Punch. This is arguably one of, if not The most important drink in tiki cocktails. The recipe we're making today is adapted by Jeff “Beachbum” Berry. It's the ultimate summer drink. And is a perfect drink that you can easily change and make it your own by switching up some ingredients, try it with different citrus, other sweeteners, and or spices, and voila you're suddenly a mixologist.
There's evidence that Punch has been around since the 1600s. It is also said that in the 18th Century, having a Punch bowl was a necessity to have in the household. So much history but there are better reliable sources out there.
