Where there is rum, there is punch. It is the one spirit that makes the most appearances in punches, whether they be classic or modern recipes. Rum is just perfect for punch and you will often see two rums in one punch - typically a light or medium rum and a dark rum. Today happens to be National Rum Punch Day and to celebrate, I thought I would share a selection of great rum punches:

There is a little note that I probably should make when it comes to punch: not all 'punch' recipes are necessarily going to be a large batch. Over the years it was common for bartenders to transform popular punches into individual cocktails and the drinks keep the punch name. Going between the two quantities is easy with some simple math. See How to Turn a Cocktail into a Party Punch for more information. At any rate, any single serving cocktail with 'punch' in its name is ideal for the party punch transition and may have started out that way.
