Today's Suggestion

Dark and Stormy Death Punch

A classic rum and ginger beer drink

Total Time: 4:30

Cook: 0:30

Level: Moderate

Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1 can lychees in heavy syrup
• ¼ c. thinly sliced peeled fresh ginger
• 16 brandied cherries
• ¼ c. superfine sugar
• ½ c. fresh lime juice
• 12 oz. dark rum
• 3 bottle ginger beer
• ice cubes

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, bring the lychee syrup and ginger to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let steep for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, stuff 16 lychees with brandied cherries. Set each lychee in the cup of a mini muffin pan or in an ice cube tray. Strain the lychee-ginger syrup and pour it over the lychees. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
3. Meanwhile, in a pitcher, stir the sugar into the lime juice until dissolved. Add the rum and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
4. Unmold the lychee ice cubes into a small punch bowl. Pour in the lime-rum mixture. Add the ginger beer, stir gently, and serve in ice-filled glasses.
