'Punch' is a word that comes from Sanskrit which means 5. Normally 5 fruit juices are added and those with a bit of style add the fifth as rum and then it is called rum punch I have had on several occasions made a punch using fruits that were available from our garden but have never added rum. For making these juices you need a blender. Image credit:

@LadyDuck Did you not have issues with Customs clearance? When we returned from Singapore we got a few bottles of Martini and we had to pay Duty.

@allknowing We always bought that rum when we visited the Caribbeans, it was so less expensive than here in Europe.

I didn't know it is a concoction of several fruits. I just thought it to be any fruit juice with rum which is what I do. I would mix an orange juice with rum and I call it punch.

That sounds yum! I had one to celebrate my birthday. I decided to order just a single glass since it was a bit on the pricey side. LOL

I haven’t had fruit punch or any punch in a long time. Of course, nowadays they call a lot of beverages punch when they technically aren’t.
