Since there’s really no better accessory than a cocktail in your hand, each week brings you a tasty adult beverage from one of our favorite drinking establishments, complete with a recipe.
This week: The Kingston Rum Punch at The Breadfruit’s Rum Bar
The Valley’s Jamaican food staple, The Breadfruit, just punched another staple in Phoenix culture. This time in the form of a rum bar. The restaurant’s new neighboring addition, named Rum Bar, is yep, you guessed it, a bar that specializes in premium aged rums and authentic Caribbean cocktail concoctions and in turn specializes in winning our hearts.
Owner Dwayne Allen‘s Kingston Rum Punch wont just give you a little taste of Jamaica; It’ll straight up punch you in the mouth. The key here is hand-squeezed pineapple juice. Yeah, mon, hand squeezed. Rum Bar isn’t about expediency, it’s about experience.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
