The story behind Samoan Rum Punch
Coconut water and pineapple place this house punch firmly in a Samoan tropical register, with lime preventing the rum from tasting too sweet. It is made as a generous, cooling pour for a warm sunset gathering.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
