Wondrich specifies that the recipe can be crafted with a myriad of decent aged options in the brandy and rum worlds. He also mentions the use of either green or black tea depending on preference. That in mind, try using the Dos Maderas 5+3 with green tea and the 5+5 when mixing with black tea. The 5+5 is a richer style of aged rum with a finish in PX casks adding more mouthfeel and sweeter aromas and black tea will stand up to the combination better. The lighter, nutty, toasty and spice driven qualities of the Dos Maderas 5+3 will compliment the more delicate green tea notes.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Dos Maderas 5+3 Rum blends the lighter Baja Rum with the richer Guyana style and ages for 5 years in the Caribbean followed by 3 years in Jerez, Spain in Palo Cortado casks.

It should. The term \u201cBombay Presidency\u201d was a phrase marking the trading company\u2019s possessions in Northwest India at the time. The recipe consisted of Goa Arrack, fresh lime, palm sugar or jaggery, water and nutmeg. In 2003 or 2004, David Wondrich, well known cocktail historian, teacher and author, created his Bombay Government Punch by adapting this formula and changing out a few key ingredients. He added tea in place of water, demerara in place of jaggery and subbed in a combination of aged rum and brandy in lieu of the arrack. Want to learn more about his endeavors into historical punches?

However, the term \u201cBombay\u201d in naming recipes historically alludes to a very specific historic time when the British occupied India and certain ingredients meshed together including new spices like nutmeg, tea, limes and rums from palm sugar. This time period marks the birth of the Punch cocktail and many folks adhere to the theory that the term \u201cPunch\u201d was an iteration of the Hindi word \u201c<\/span>Panch<\/span><\/i>\u201d (Hindi \u092a\u093e\u0901\u091a (p\u0101\u00f1\u0107) which translates to the number \u201cfive\u201d and is the understood number of ingredients to build a punch: spirit, citrus, sugar, water, spice.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Bajan Rum Punch<\/a><\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t The phrase \u201cone of sour, two of sweet, three of strong and four weak\u201d is the national rhyme in Barbados. Fittingly, the Bajan or Barbadian Rum Punch is one of the oldest iterations of the Rum Punch recipe and one of its key differences here is the addition of Angostura bitters and the fact that it is more likely to be made in single servings versus in large format.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Navy Grog <\/a><\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Inspired by Donn Beach\u2019s travels and war time experience in the US Air Force, this 1941 version of a much older classic punch (rum, citrus and water rations in the 1740\u2019s British Royal Navy), incorporates grapefruit as well as lime, subs in honey for demerara and includes a mint garnish.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t The term government in this punch is a call back to the original 1694 Bombay Presidency Punch. Because the Bombay Government Punch is a riff, the creator David Wondrich picked a kindred term as a nod to its historic nomenclature. It also refers a bit to the old practice of British government rations of rum for sailors and government employees abroad.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAbout Dos Maderas 5+3 Rum<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
