History

Punch traveled from India to Britain with sailors of the East India Company in the 1600s, and became a Caribbean staple as rum production grew. Every island has its own version.

Making a batch? Scale it for a crowd, add dilution water, and see how many bottles to buy.

How are you making it? ⓘ Batching includes dilution water. Pre-batched cocktails need added water to replace the melt from stirring or shaking. We use Jeffrey Morgenthaler's standard: 18% for spirit-forward drinks, 25% for shaken.
