| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Combine 6 ounces of the rum, the lime juice, superfine sugar, bitters and cracked ice in a mixing glass, and place a bar shaker on top of the glass.
|
2. Grasping the glass and the shaker firmly together with both hands, shake them vigorously 9 or 10 times.
|
3. Remove the shaker and pour the contents of the glass, unstrained, into 2 chilled 10-ounce highball glasses.
|
4. Place a teaspoon upside down in each glass in turn and very slowly pour ˝ ounce or more of the rum over the back of the spoon, letting it trickle off onto the surface of the drink so that the rum floats on top.
|
5. Grate a little nutmeg over the drink and serve at once.
|
6. "Planter's punch" is often served garnished with some kind of fresh fruit.
|
7. If you like, add a maraschino cherry and a pineapple or banana strip to each drink, or slit the lime or orange slices from peel to center and stand them on the rim of each glass.
