Y'all have to be aware that there is a major difference between the rum that most of us are used to (molasses based) and French Rhum Agricole (cane syrup based). There's a totally different flavor profile, and often a higher alcohol content, 100-proof.)

One rum aficionado friend of mine describes it as "rum moonshine".

The local island drink of the French Caribbean is a 'Ti Punch, vernacular for a Petite Punch, which is pretty much a Rhum Agricole Shooter. A 'Ti Punch consists of Rhum Agricole, cane syrup (think simple syrup) and a small wedge of lime. It can be sipped, or it can be shot, but you're basicle knocking back 1.5-2 ounces of 100 proof rum. If you prefer, you can ask for a 'Ti Punch Vieux, which is made with a smoother, aged (3 years I think), amber Rhum Agricole.

CharlieH, did I miss any fine points on the 'Ti Punch?
