\nRelated:<\/B> Special Planters Punch is tropical drink history in a glass<\/a> | Mai-Kai cocktail guide<\/A><\/p>\n

There are two Planters Punches on the classic cocktail menu of The Mai-Kai in Fort Lauderdale, but one is a lot more special than the other.<\/p>\n

The Special Planters Punch<\/a> is highly recommended. It received 4 1\/2 out of 5 stars, putting it near the top of the ratings. <\/p>\n

The Planters Punch on the medium menu, however, comes up short. It’s near the bottom of the ratings due to its lack of punch, oddly enough. It’s one of the very few cocktails from the acclaimed bar that aren’t recommended, unless perhaps you’re new to tropical cocktails or just looking for something light but substantial. Unfortunately, it can’t compete with its tasty cousin.<\/p>\n

Flavor profile:<\/B> Slightly sour but mainly sweet, heavy on the honey and light on the rum.<\/p>\n

Review:<\/B> Very mild for a Planters, this isn’t one of The Mai-Kai’s better cocktails. But it could be a good introduction for newbies or non-drinkers.<\/p>\n

Rating:<\/B> 2 out of 5 stars (see how it ranks)<\/a><\/p>\n

Ancestry:<\/B> The Planters Punch has been on The Mai-Kai’s menu since 1956, along with the superior Special Planters Punch.<\/a> They’re both descendants of the many influential recipes by Don the Beachcomber.<\/p>\n

Bilge:<\/b> An authentic Planters Punch from Jamaica is derived from a 200-year-old recipe that’s passed from generation to generation in rhyme: “One of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, four of weak.” This translates to one part lime juice, two parts sugar, three parts Jamaican rum, and four parts water (or ice). <\/p>\n

ANCESTOR RECIPE
\nPlanter’s Punch<\/strong>
\n(From Beachbum Berry Remixed<\/a><\/I>)<\/p>\n

\"Planter's<\/a>
Planter's Punch (Don the Beachcomber) by The Atomic Grog. (Photo by Hurricane Hayward, November 2011)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

* 1\/2 ounce fresh-squeezed lime juice
\n* 1\/2 ounce sugar syrup
\n* 1\/2 ounce gold Jamaican rum
\n* 1\/2 ounce dark Jamaican rum
\n* 1 ounce gold Virgin Islands rum
\n* 1\/2 teaspoon grenadine
\n* 1\/2 teaspoon falernum
\n* 2 dashes Angostura bitters<\/p>\n

Blend with 6 ounces (3\/4 cup) of crushed ice for no more than 5 seconds. Pour unstrained into a tall glass, adding more ice to fill. Garnish with cherry and\/or pineapple.<\/p>\n

According to Beachbum Berry,<\/a> Donn Beach had at least five versions of the Planter’s Punch (yes, The Mai-Kai spells it differently) on his 1930s Don the Beachcomber bar menu. The one above is probably not the actual predecessor of The Mai-Kai’s medium-strength version, but it’s a fine recipe to add to your repertoire. The Bum says it’s the closest to the old Jamaican rule of thumb.<\/p>\n

Notes and tips for home mixologists<\/B><\/p>\n

* Recommended rums include Appleton (Special Gold), Coruba (dark), and Cruzan (gold Virgin Islands). But feel free to experiment. <\/p>\n

* Be sure to use authentic grenadine and falernum, such as those made by Fee Brothers.<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a very solid Planter’s recipe and actually superior to The Mai-Kai’s medium-strength version. Of course, as mentioned above, the Special Planters Punch<\/a> is preferred. But this recipe does feature a nice mix of classic ingredients. <\/p>\n

Jim's roots in mid-century and retro culture go back to his childhood in the 1960s, when he tagged along with his parents to Tiki restaurants and his father's custom car shows. His experience in newspaper journalism and more than 20 years as an independent concert promoter have given him a front-row seat in the South Florida scene since the 1970s. He promoted hundreds of rock, punk, and indie concerts under the Slammie Productions banner since the early 1990s. A graduate of the University of Florida's College of Journalism and Communications in 1983, Jim was a longtime editor and web producer for The Palm Beach Post before his retirement in 2022. He earned his nickname by virtue of both his dangerous exotic drinks and his longtime position overseeing tropical weather coverage in his stormy home state. Jim now spends his time mixing cocktails, attending events and writing stories for this blog, which launched in 2011. The Atomic Grog extensively covers events, music, art, cocktails, and culture with a retro slant.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/theatomicgrog.com\",\"http:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/atomicgrog\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/theatomicgrog\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.pinterest.com\\\/atomicgrog\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/theatomicgrog\",\"https:\\\/\\\/youtube.com\\\/@atomicgrog\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.slammie.com\\\/atomicgrog\\\/blog\\\/author\\\/hurricanehayward\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Mai-Kai cocktail review: This Planters lacks the punch of it's special cousin - The Atomic Grog","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/2011\/12\/01\/mai-kai-cocktail-review-this-planters-lacks-the-punch-of-its-special-cousin\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Mai-Kai cocktail review: This Planters lacks the punch of it's special cousin - The Atomic Grog","og_description":"Updated April 23, 2014 See below: Our Planters Punch review | Ancestor recipe Related: Special Planters Punch is tropical drink history in a glass | Mai-Kai cocktail guide There are two Planters Punches on the classic cocktail menu of The Mai-Kai in Fort Lauderdale, but one is a lot more special than the other.

Jim's roots in mid-century and retro culture go back to his childhood in the 1960s, when he tagged along with his parents to Tiki restaurants and his father's custom car shows. His experience in newspaper journalism and more than 20 years as an independent concert promoter have given him a front-row seat in the South Florida scene since the 1970s. He promoted hundreds of rock, punk, and indie concerts under the Slammie Productions banner since the early 1990s. A graduate of the University of Florida's College of Journalism and Communications in 1983, Jim was a longtime editor and web producer for The Palm Beach Post before his retirement in 2022. He earned his nickname by virtue of both his dangerous exotic drinks and his longtime position overseeing tropical weather coverage in his stormy home state. Jim now spends his time mixing cocktails, attending events and writing stories for this blog, which launched in 2011. The Atomic Grog extensively covers events, music, art, cocktails, and culture with a retro slant.","sameAs":["https:\/\/theatomicgrog.com","http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/atomicgrog","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theatomicgrog\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/atomicgrog\/","https:\/\/x.com\/theatomicgrog","https:\/\/youtube.com\/@atomicgrog"],"url":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/author\/hurricanehayward\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1xHjT-y1","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2109\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
