Ti' punch

Ti' punch (Haitian Creole: Ti ponch, [ti pɔ̃ʃ]; French: Petit Ponch) literally meaning "small punch", is a rum-based mixed drink that is especially popular in Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint Martin, Haiti, French Guiana, Réunion, and other French-speaking Caribbean islands.

The ti' punch is distinguished from these by its use of rhum agricole, and by typically having less lime juice.

[4][5][6] The drink is traditionally made with white rhum agricole, lime, and cane syrup.

[9][10][11] A popular tradition is that of chacun prépare sa propre mort ("each prepares their own death"), in which the bartender or host provides glassware, syrup, limes, and rum but does not prepare the drink so that each drinker may build their own to their taste.

[2][9][10][11] Ti' punch predates the wide availability of ice in the Caribbean, and both the traditional neat and contemporary iced preparation are prevalent today.
