NOTES : Most of the world's rum, a by-product of sugarcane production, comes from the Caribbean. And Jamaica, an island known for its dark, rich varieties, produces some of the finest rums you'll ever taste. You may have sampled rum punch over the years, but few are as memorable as the one made by Desmond Young at the Strawberry Hill resort in Jamaica. Desmond, a fifty-year-veteran bartender, uses two kinds of rum in his signature drink--a dark rum and a rather potent white rum, that, at 126 proof, adds a real kick to this cocktail.
