Ti’ Punch
Rhum agricole, lime and cane syrup: the French Caribbean’s three-ingredient ritual.
TraditionalHistorical classicResearched
The Ti’ Punch is the everyday rum drink of Martinique and the French Caribbean. Rhum agricole, lime and cane syrup are built in the glass, with no ice unless the drinker asks for it. The name comes from “petit punch”, and the balance is a matter of local pride.
