UB Preserv has featured tiki bowls since it opened in May 2018, and this punch is perfect for even larger quantities. Galleymore describes the flavor as “funky, friendly and slightly bitter,” the former largely due to the grassy, heady rhum agricole.

This cocktail features the makings of a classic Daiquiri: rum, lime and sugar. However, the addition of iced tea and mint transforms it into a relaxed affair that’s as easy to make as it is to sip. It’s just the ticket for the dog days of summer.
