The story behind Halifax Rum Punch
Apple cider and maple syrup give this Halifax house punch a clear Atlantic Canadian accent around dark rum. Lemon keeps its orchard sweetness in check, making it especially suited to a cool late-afternoon gathering.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
