What is the bartender tip for a Ti' Punch?
Chacun prépare sa mort: everyone builds their own. The agricole rum (fresh cane, not molasses) is the drink — if you don't like the rum, you won't like the glass. Martinique sirop de canne is the classic sweetener; 1:1 simple syrup covers it at home. The coin is peel with a little pulp, not Daiquiri juice. Without ice the proof is heavy; a large cube is acceptable. It's not a Caipirinha (cachaça and muddled lime) or a Daiquiri (shaken, served up).
