The story behind Bissap Rum Punch
Bissap is Senegal’s vivid hibiscus drink, served cold and often perfumed with mint or fruit. This house punch adds white rum and lime while leaving the tart floral base in the foreground.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
