This fun rum punch uses the tropical flavors of sparkling water to create a vacation-worthy cocktail you can enjoy right at home.
Ingredients
- 1 orange slice (¼ inch thick), for garnish (optional)
- Granulated sugar, for garnish (optional)
- 10 ice cubes, or equivalent amount crushed ice, divided
- 3 ounces white rum
- 2 ounces coconut pineapple sparkling water
- 2 ounces orange mango sparkling water
- ½ ounce grenadine
- 3 drops Peychaud's Bitters
- Juice of ½ lime
- Lime wheel, for garnish
Preparation
If torching an orange slice for the garnish, pat the slice dry and sprinkle with a thin layer of sugar. Place orange slice on a heatproof surface, then hold a kitchen torch 2–3 inches away and move the flame slowly across the surface for 30–60 seconds, just until the orange sizzles and turns golden brown. Flip the slice and torch the other side briefly.
For the cocktail, place half the ice in a cocktail shaker, then add rum, sparkling waters, grenadine, bitters, and lime juice. Shake lightly for 10 seconds.
Add remaining ice to a medium hurricane or rocks glass. Pour contents of shaker into glass, then garnish with a lime wheel and torched orange slice.
