Drink Up: Baron Samedi Rum Punch

Ever since I started spending my time in New Orleans, I started to really enjoy rum punches (especially a good Milk Punch). But I recently tried this updated the classic rum punch made with the Baron Samedi Rum. This punch is cool yet spicy – the perfect refreshing drink for the summer. Plus it is supper easy to make a big jug of this and share with your friends.

  • Dillon’s Absinthe to taste and garnish with grapefruit wheels

*How to make lavender tea: 2L water, 10g whole white pepper, 1g dried lavender, 2 orange pekoe tea bags. Brew tea, add spices. Infuse in fridge for 3 hours. Fine strain.

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a large vessel and serve chilled in small glasses with no ice.
  2. Drink.
  3. Repeat.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.
