Rocks Glass for serving

Ingredients

8 ounces Aged Rum
6 ounces Lime Juice
6 ounces Hibiscus Syrup
1 bottle Champagne 750ml

Instructions

Prepare the Punch Base:
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the aged rum, lime juice, hibiscus syrup.
Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are fully mixed.
Chill the Mixture:
Refrigerate the punch mixture before serving. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully and ensures the punch is refreshingly cold.
Add Champagne:
Just before serving, gently stir in the champagne to the punch bowl. It’s important to do this last to maintain the champagne’s effervescence.
Serve:
Ladle the punch into individual glasses filled with ice, ensuring that each glass gets a good mix of all ingredients, including a splash of the effervescent champagne.
Garnish (optional):
Consider garnishing with lime wheels, edible flowers, or additional hibiscus petals to enhance the visual appeal and add a touch of extra flavor.

Notes

Champagne Selection:

Choose a dry or brut champagne to complement the sweet flavors of the syrups without making the punch too sweet.

Batch Prep:

If you’re preparing this for a party, you can mix the rum, syrups, lime juice, and water in advance and keep it chilled. Add the champagne right before guests arrive to keep it bubbly.
