Barbados Rum Punch

150ml dark Babados Rum
150ml pineapple/orange juice
100ml fresh lime juice

Fragrant Sorrel Punch - alcohol-free
Traditionally enjoyed all over the Caribbean at Christmas, fragrant Sorrel punch is one for all the family.
This refreshing and spicy ruby coloured beverage is served cool and made from edible dried sorrel petals which taste similar to cranberry.
