Master The Classics: Planter's Punch

Описание: The Planters Punch is a very old drink which predates cocktails and could be as old as Rum itself. It is a drink which has many many many variations in its recipe and is impossible to trace which came first. It's a chicken and egg scenario. So as we do here on this channel, this will become a series and I will show you every Planter's Punch I know. This drink deserves it as much as the Old Fashioned.

The version in this video was served at the Hotel Tichfield in the town Port Antonio in Jamaica around 1928. Port Antonio was at one point a favorite destination of Hollywood stars such as Ginger Rogers, Clara Bow, Rudyard Kipling and Errol Flynn who was said to own the nearby Navy Island after winning it in a game of poker. Errol Flynn was so in love with the town he was quated as saying: "I never met a woman as beautiful as San Antonio..." In the 1940's and 50's it was the set of many Hollywood films and it is said that the writer of The French Connection, Robin Moore wrote the novel while sitting under a Mango tree.

The Tichfield Hotel was built in the early 1900's by Lorenzo Dow Baker, the man who is said to have singlehandedly jumpstarted Jamaica's Banana export business. The hotel was absolutely grand boasting 600 feet of piazza and 400 rooms.
