Good Morning Cocktail - Ti' Punch

Decided we need a little cocktail with all this food. I think this works better as more a morning, sipping in the sunshine after a good feeling (and filling) brunch kind of drink. Enjoy.


Ti Punch (sounds like Tea Pounch) it's French.

2 oz white rum (Martiniquan white rum is the best for this)
1 oz sugar syrup (or you can use regular brown sugar)
1 fresh lime

Wash a lime, remove top and bottom, and thinly slice into half rings. Add lime pieces to glass and crush with the flat end of a barspoon. Add rum and sugar syrup, top with broken ice, and muddle together. Add a short straw, and serve.

You don't have to be that fancy.. just add some cracked ice to a class, add some spoonfuls of brown sugar, and fill with rum to cover the ice. Squeeze some lime and stir.

Ti in french means petite.. so it's a little punch.

You drink it in the morning .. sip it. the water will dilute a little.. when done you say "décollage" as in to take off or get your morning started.
