Ti’ Punch Cocktail Recipe – Traditional Agricole Rum Drink

Ti’ Punch is a traditional cocktail from the French Caribbean, made with rhum agricole, sugar, and lime. Known for its simplicity and bold flavour, it’s a staple in Martinique and a true expression of agricole rum.

What is Ti’ Punch?

Ti’ Punch (short for “petit punch”) is a classic Caribbean cocktail typically made with agricole rum, cane sugar, and lime. Unlike many cocktails, it’s often prepared directly in the glass and adjusted to personal taste.

Ingredients

• 2 oz agricole rum (unaged or lightly aged)
• 1 tsp cane sugar syrup (or raw sugar)
• 1 lime wedge or a few drops of lime juice

Traditionally made with fresh-cut lime rather than bottled juice.

How to Make a Ti’ Punch

• Add sugar and lime to a glass
• Stir gently to release oils and dissolve sugar
• Add rum
• Adjust to taste

There’s no strict recipe — each Ti’ Punch is made to personal preference.

Why Agricole Rum Matters

Agricole rum is made from fresh cane juice rather than molasses, giving it a brighter, more complex flavour.

Our estate-grown sorghum-based agricole brings a uniquely Canadian take to this classic Caribbean cocktail — bold, clean, and expressive.
