The Planter’s Punch

The Planter’s Punch Drink is a classic rum drink that first appeared in print in a 1908 edition of the New York Times. Like other drinks, this has a disputed origin: one claim refers to the Planter’s Hotel in St. Louis and another tells of a Jamaican planter’s wife who concocted it to cool down the workers.
