History of Rum Punch

Folks have been sippin’ on Rum Punch for hundreds of years now. Dating back to the 1600s, when sailors needed a replacement for all the beer that would spoil and stink up their ships, the word “punch” is believed to come from the Hindi word “pancha,” meaning 5 - referring to the 5 ingredients that make up a standard punch drink - something sweet, sour, and spicy, mixed with alcohol, water or ice.
