Jasper's RUM PUNCH - a bold and boozy secret concoction from Jamaica!

[@AndersErickson]

FYI, Jasper's Mix with soda water instead of rum makes a great low abv "punch." Cheers! Go to sponsr.is/zbiotics_anders_0724 or scan the QR & use code ANDERS for 15% off your 1st order of ZBiotics Pre-Alcohol Probiotic. Thanks ZBiotics for sponsoring!

Thanks for the low abv (and lower cost, as well) suggestion, as I’m always looking for those!

[@michaelfedigan]

Enjoying Topo Chico and a splash of the Jasper’s mix - thanks for mentioning this!

[@uraniumrock8381]

This stuff is GREAT with soda. It's a great way to finish off a big batch (and maybe lay off the overproof rum for a day or two).

[@Paulyphyllous]

It's a candied green cherry, Anders. Common mostly in baked goods during the end of year holidays.

[@caiax3093]

They used to sell green maraschino cherries in jars that I remember from when I was a kid...perhaps the green ball is a green cherry?!?

[@AndersErickson]

Love this! Had no idea. Thanks for sharing

[@Coraxery]

I think you can still get them Leandro used once for his greenhorn video

[@allisonhickman6133]

There are multiple brands selling these to my surprise. I do remember from my childhood, I think more common around Christmas?

[@mrspaulsen1717]

My mom used them in a Brazil nut loaf she made for my grandma every Christmas 🎄.

[@nurseonthego4u]

Yes, I remember the bottle of green cherries.

[@claytonmitchell5685]

I love that the legacy of someone beloved and innovative in their craft can last forever by what they’ve created. For Jasper, it was his punch and his mix. And I love that you care so much about the art of cocktails to keep Jasper’s legacy alive by showing people his work. Cheers to you Anders!

[@willlyman1094]

Everything I know about cocktails I learned from Anders. Simply the best to do it on KZbin in my opinion!

[@wynnbeattie3596]

I did 1.5 mix to 2 ounces of mezcal and was very happy with the results.

[@bltry77]

I made the Jasper’s Mix today, 4 hours later made the rum punch. I love that I got to swizzle this cocktail - it’s always extra fun when a technique works! Thanks Anders, for your videos, this week and every week!

[@Trasselkalle]

How do you know my holiday needs? That boozy Jamaican stuff is to die for. ❤

[@AndersErickson]

Couldn't agree more. So good

[@uraniumrock8381]

These are both great drinks. The Jasper Rum Punch is amazing for its economy; an ounce and a half of cheap Uncle Wrays, sugar, lime, and Ango. The taste is great! I like it a lot more then some much more complicated tiki drinks with expensive and difficult to source bottles. I cant wait to make one with Rum Fire.

[@Dorv]

Made the mix. Couldn’t wait five hours. Holy moly that’s good. Now to figure out more whiskey drinks with it.

[@uraniumrock8381]

I haven't tried this myself but I bet it'd be good with a real peaty scotch. If Jaspers Mix can domesticate Uncle Wrays I bet it'd be great with a similarly wild Laphroaig or Ardbeg! I'm going to make a Japsers Mix/Laphroaig old fashioned when I get home.

[@flyingteeshirts]

I read that Jasper's Mix is basically a type of falernum, so I made a Corn n' Oil (2oz to .5 oz) and it works. Easiest falernum stand-in I've ever seen.

[@jurgenandrag3181]

A couple of summers ago I made fassionola cordial and froze it in 250ml batches. Worked really well for a couple of birthday parties.

[@murilo9992]

Just drinking mine now: -My mix for some reason is not as bright orange, it's looking a little more brownish -No access to overproff rum so I used white rum, and compensated with plus an oz. This cocktail is so easy, delicious and easy.Thank you Anders, next time I wanna try it with cachaça.

[@Uptown_Pulls]

Two recipes ONE video >>> Hell yeah

[@Nacra]

I like this new video format with an extra recipe at the end, keep it up Anders :)

[@oscarsnr]

No video this week, so glad I saved this one to watch later

[@sethnoland9289]

I loved this channel during the pandemic. I lost my old account I used be subscribed on. So glad to be back. Anders is the man!

[@PatrickHenryLibertyorDeath]

Guessing you were right about COVID and KZbin didn't like it😅

[@SailingJura]

I like to make my Rum Punch the Barbados way 🇧🇧 1 of Sour (🍋‍🟩 juice) 2 of Sweet (simple syrup) 3 of Strong (dark 🇧🇧 rum) 4 of Weak (water) Mix in a rocks or highball, add ice, 2 to 4 dashes Angostura, top with nutmeg and enjoy 🇧🇧🌴☀️

[@user-we7wd9ub9u]

My wife and I have been to Sandals Montego Bay and I love the connection with the Bay Roc. I made Jasper's Mix and then used it to make the Jasper's Rum Punch using Wray & Nephew, Japer's Jamaican Planter's Punch using Meyers Rum and finally the Bay Roc Special using Appleton 12 year. They were all delicious! Another homerun...thanks again Anders!!!

[@ManInArea]

Made the mix and the cocktail. Dangerously great!

[@UnclePete]

Never heard of this Jasper but he sounds like my kind of guy!

[@AndersErickson]

Absolutely! We're just a few decades late

[@bp3986]

As always, great video, Anders… you stand head and shoulders above all the other cocktail vloggers out there! Thanks very much!

[@IndigoWall]

Love Jasper’s Mix, Anders. Made a bucket of Black Rose f summer gathering as variation on Jack Rose, which has been in demand for the past 2 yrs, especially holidays. Black was too spirit forward for the crew, however, so I dosed it wJasper’s, shook, poured into sippy cups & booshta! Everybody happy! 😂 Cheers!

[@btizzle3657]

Thanks for sharing this recipe. It is delicious and authentic to the Caribbean. I prefer to add in equal parts mix, rum, and club soda.

[@JaelenBrown]

Anytime I hear Sandals Resort, I think of Michael Scott 😂

[@AndersErickson]

Feeling hot hot hot

[@TagTeamBravo]

​Tan everywhere. Jan everywhere.

[@GG-hd9ps]

Really love watching all your videos, you give me new cocktail inspiration, thank you. Keep'em coming! 😁

[@parkinglot2642]

Finally back on my KZbin kick of watching your videos after a long hiatus since moving to Japan and geez I’ve missed it! Just a suggestion/request so pay me no heed if this is a tall order, but I’d love to see the Anders’ take on some original Japanese cocktails! I think your understanding and respect for culturally significant drinks as well as overall style of your videos would complement that sort of subject very well! And from my very limited experience so far, there are a lot of amazing Japanese cocktails, most of which I’ve yet to try.

[@samsnodgrass4471]

Just made this, followed the recipe. Tastes just like what you get at a resort 💯

[@fredrikstad01]

WOW! Just got to try it now, have had a vacation with my kid for couple of weeks, but now one week alone:) I've tried this rum (Rum-Bar and Rum Fire , haven't tried the Wraith, but I guess they're allmost the same, all from Jamaica and 126 proof) and that funky banana taste overpowers everything, even in an long island. But here it just mellows out:)

[@amylynnlarson]

Got a little creative with extra Jaspers Mix tonight. Instead of rum, I mixed it with RD1 amburana finished bourbon. I’m hesitant to say so, but I think it works.

[@mell_gif]

1st time I won't be able to make this drink over the weekend, as I'm off to someone else's party 🎉 😂 🍹 Will sneak it in, sometime next week 😋

[@AndersErickson]

Enjoy letting someone else make you a drink for a change. Cheers

[@dyalander]

Don’t apologise for keeping a clean bar; you like to keep it clean and we love to see it.

[@RobBalazs]

Jaspers mix is a constant fridge item in the summer!

[@AndersErickson]

Like your style

[@MrMojitoguru]

Finally, with all my alcohol I have, a recipe that I have ALL the EXACT ingredients including the shake machine. 😂

[@NateCanny]

Lets go Anders with another clutch upload!! My friend loves Rum Punch, and I’m so happy for the pre-batch aspect of this because it’s always an involved process haha

[@AndersErickson]

Your friend will love it! You will too. Cheers

[@rodmund83]

Another video containing nothing but ingredients I have!! I'm looking forward to trying this one! The Gretta Garbo from last week was wonderful 😄

[@AndersErickson]

Happy you have everything you need! And thanks for making the Greta Garbo. Cheers

[@user-rr1zt5go4q]

Thank you, Anders ! I like this. Only 2 bottles of alcohol to buy. Rum and Ango Bitters. Not going to break the bank. And I like the fact that the mix can be refrigerated for 2 weeks. Wow. So alcohol does screw up your gut ? Who woulda thought ? I wonder if our masters are working on an insect brew ? Anders. Would you be happy to make an insect cocktail ? I'd drink it if it made me jump like a grasshopper, though I wouldn't want to look like one. All the best, my friend ! (I'm only being silly !)

[@MarkRovelli]

always fun when one watches a cocktail stream and has all of the ingredients - wray and nephew, yep - coruba (for the jasper's planters punch) yep! and all the ingredients for the mix! good weekend coming!

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers!

[@MarkRovelli]

@@AndersErickson decided on an El Dorado 5 as the rum. yummy! will try the coruba and the w&n later on.... thanks again!

[@einheit02]

Zbiotics works really well, BTW. My stomach gets easily upset by even small amounts of alcohol, but I can have 2 or 3 cocktails with zbiotic without stomach pains or issues the next day.

[@pjjaskowski999]

Funny you mention the homemade grenadine. I did not find myself using it in too many drinks, so I decided to create my own, what I call the Jaz(z) sour. 2 oz. gin, 1/2 oz grenadine, 1/2 oz lime juice, and 3 dashes Rose Water. Shaken and served up. Floral yet crisp. Best of all it uses two items on my bar that do not get enough use.

[@EricAAnderson]

I appreciate this channel. And that grenadine is the best - been using it, and every drink has been amazing.

[@eliot_jay]

Anders! You’ve done it again, my friend. I have a cocktail night on my calendar next Friday and this is going to be perfect for as people arrive! Thanks for passing all your knowledge our way!

[@ColemanVurbeff]

Rum is fun! Keep the good times rolling!

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers!

[@bobaerbuddy]

Highly appreciated you wearing approbiate Hawaian-style shirt when presenting Tiki-stuff. Will call that due dilligence. 😆 And will prepare some mix right now for tonight.

[@somedayDefect]

I just made some right now! My wife looks at the jar in disgust. She says that it looks like something kids would make just screwing around. It doesn't look good in the jar but it tastes fantastic!

[@mattwatson2090]

I used the Jaspers mix with bar strength Novo Fogo cachaca. Super delicious 😋

[@kyledexheimer6548]

soak the handle of your swizzle stick, then get it hot with a hair dryer or over the stove, it will get bendy, you can then bend against the current bend to straighten it.

[@MichaelDinsmore]

Never heard of Jasper’s Mix, but it sounds really good - love the clove notes in angostura bitters, and prepping it in advance sounds like a real winner for a cookout! Thanks for sharing!

[@FoldingScreenMonkey]

6:00 important note! Sugar and water (or lime juice in this case) have different densities, meaning that, if you measure by weight, *the ratio will change.* I saw one source claim that granulated sugar is about 85% as dense as water, meaning 3/4c sugar will weigh closer to 7oz than 6oz. However, since sugar is essentially sand in terms of physics, that density will vary based on how densely it's packed and what type of sugar it is.

[@hurricanehayward]

Wow, great to see Jasper's Mix trendy again. Another popular KZbinr just posted a similar video two weeks ago 😉 ... The credit for Jasper's recipe becoming public should go to the late great rum collector, Stephen Remsberg. He used to tell the story of drinking at Jasper's bar in the '70s and Jasper writing it down for him. Stephen later shared it with both Beachbum Berry and Ted Haigh, who was actually the first to publish it (along with the punch recipes) in Vintage Spirits and Forgotten cocktails back in 2009. Stephen first shared it publicly at Tales of the Cocktail in 2008, which is timely. That was roughly 16 years ago this week. I think I'll go toast both Stephen and Jasper with potent punch.

[@loonypeat312]

I truly look forward every week for your videos. Because of you, Anders, I’ve learned so much about the ins and out of cocktails. I thank you so much, both you and Az, for expanding my knowledge in this fabulous field of cocktails! 🍸🍹🥃 😎 cheers

[@joecichlid]

I just made myself one of the Bay Roc Specials and it is pretty darned amazing! The Jasper's Rum Punch is next and I am excited.

[@caiax3093]

Looks delicious! Can't wait to try this one

[@benandrovich112]

Anders Grenadine is truly the best I’ve ever had. It’s rich, it’s beautiful and it’s perfectly tasty!! I’m not paid by Anders, it’s just an honest take on it!

[@jonaminotto8656]

Thanks for the tutorial! Gonna to try this! I was wondering if you've done a book list video yet? I would love more cocktail book recommendations!

[@jeffreypope6824]

The Drambuie family once owned a villa overlooking Montego Bay. That might be the tie in on the Bay Roc cocktail.

[@AndersErickson]

Didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing

[@user-ci5sf5qj2k]

Thanks for the great recipe..again. Jasper's Mix looks like something you could easily do on a single drink basis. I'm guessing something like 1 oz lime juice, 1 1/2 tbsp sugar, 2 ml Angostura (4 - 5 dashes?) a bit of ground nutmeg. Did you check the final volume you came up with? It would be easy to come up with the "single drink" ratios if you have the end volume for a full batch.

[@TehCommunistDuck]

Did I happen conveniently to have a bunch of peeled limes and also a bottle of appleton 15? yes. Do I also happen to love mixing rum and drambuie? also yes. the bay roc was outstandingly good. Highly recommend making a batch of the mix.

[@maitaioneon]

They still sell green maraschino cherries but they are harder to find. Both the basic red and green are of course dyed.

[@Torresmos]

I am in summer so, sizzlers and mojitos and now this will be a very nice, very easy and fast addition to the list. Especially for large and thirsty group of friends. thanks.

[@chrisabrams1238]

Great recipe! Very simple and very tasty! I had a bottle of the overproof and it has very few uses. (tho in a ultimate mai tai, 1/2 oz of this jamaican rum is excellent!) I used the bottled nutmeg in my batch but I will definitely try grating my own next time. The bottled nutmeg doesn't strain out so you end up with a little tornado of of nutmeg in your glass because it is so fine.

[@benboone6826]

Can’t wait to try this Anders! Quick question - how would this be different if you just shook the cocktail with crushed ice and did an open pour? What does the machine or swizzle accomplish that a crushed ice shake wouldn’t? Thanks!

[@nickschuman4652]

Bought a Hamilton drink master for like $45. Thing works wonderfully and I’ve had it for over a year now

[@AndersErickson]

Well played

[@DapumaAZ]

The Hamilton $45 dollar product is absolutely awful. It cannot blend better than a hard shake. There is a reason a real one costs $400 aka ten times the amount.

[@nickschuman4652]

@@DapumaAZ for my home bar uses it works wonderfully. I don’t quite have $400 (aka 10 times the amount) burning a hole in my pocket to throw at a hobby, but I’ll take your word for it.

[@bob___]

The drinks look super. And I'm really envious of the milkshake machine. I thought I had a milkshake machine, but now I'm reminded of the knife scene in Crocodile Dundee (that's not a knife, this is a knife).

[@Stephen_Curtin]

The next time I'm in the mood for some Jamaican rum punch, which happens not too infrequently, I'll be sure to make some of Jasper's mix.

[@nicholasbettis5527]

They make green candied cherries for garnishes! Very sweet and quite unusual but pretty similar to a cheap maraschino cherry.

That's the famous Bajan (Barbados) Rum Punch recipe! I like it with Old Brigand which is what the locals drink mostly. So good after a long day surfing Soup Bowl ;-)

[@mungovanlowe]

Random, but I just came across this in a book from 1626 called New Atlantis. It’s an imagined utopia where apparently they, ave cane juice rums, of various ages…“Wines we have of grapes, and drinks of other juice, of fruits, of grains, and of roots, and of mixtures with honey, sugar, manna, and fruits dried and decocted ; also of the tears or wounding of trees, and of the pulp of canes. And these drinks are of several ages, some to the age or last of forty years.”

Granulated sugar in the US usually comes from sugar cane, while in most parts of Europe, it comes from sugar beets and is much coarser than ordinary granulated sugar.

[@the_Zinabi]

What would you think about batching this Anders? The W&N might even extend the shelf life.

[@Runge_was_here]

I'm definitely gonna try this one for the weekend. Looks refreshing, and i have outdoor projects to do that can only be made better by drinking. 😂

[@BOBFudge]

This is my Caesar salad drink... Hear me out. I love a good Caesar Salad. Something you can get at any restaurant, no one makes them the same way, but it still hits the spot. It blew my mind when learned from a Golf travel show (adventures in golf) that the Caesar salad came from a restaurant named Caesar's in Tijana Mexico. (always thought it was Italian) Now, I can't eat a Caesar salad without being that Dad who tells the same story everytime something happens. I can't, not think of the fact that it's from Mexico. I sit down at the restaurant, order the salad, then say "Fun Fact, Caesar salads are actually from Mexico" to anyone who would listen. And most people say, "wow, I thought it was from Italy". What does this have to do with a Rum Punch? I love rum punch. Jasper's rum punch. And like the salad, I can't not think about Jasper, Montego Bay Jamaica, the story, and not to mention that most people put fruit punch in a rum punch when it doesn't have it in the first place. And I only know about Jasper's Rum Punch because I went to Jamaica on vacation and learned this from a bartender in Montego Bay! All this to say, I've always appreciated your History section in your videos and this one hit a special place in my heart. Cheers!

I do appreciate how Anders shows us how to make the Rum Punch without the blender. I get frustrated when I watch a cocktail video where the creator says its super simple to make you just need these ingredients then takes out fancy equipment to make the "super simple" drink which means its not as easy as they say it is.
