The story behind Tongan Rum Punch
Coconut water, pineapple and lime provide the Tongan island profile around dark rum. Juicy without becoming syrupy, this house punch is meant for a leisurely pour as the Pacific afternoon cools.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
