“Tropical Fruit Punch descends from the earliest forms of punch, created in the early 17th century by British East India Company sailors who adapted the Sanskrit "paanch" (five) formula to local Caribbean ingredients. As British sailors moved into the Caribbean, they replaced arrack with rum, creating the Bajan Rum Punch with its famous rhyme: "One of Sour, Two of Sweet, Three of Strong, Four of Weak." The Planter's Punch, first documented in London's Fun magazine in 1878, evolved to include complex tropical fruits. This modern interpretation honors those historical foundations while celebrating the vibrant flavors of multiple tropical fruits, representing centuries of punch evolution from colonial necessity to festive celebration.”
