I’m back for another round of tasty drinks and rum spiked recipes with my friends from Captain Morgan and their Captain’s Table challenge.  The theme for December was simply dubbed ‘holiday’ and depending on what you celebrate can be interpreted in a number of ways.  I see it as a time to gather with family and friends, eat, drink and be merry.   At the end of the year when we are tired, cold, cranky and ready for a break there really isn’t anything better than this.  

There are a million articles out there to make the holiday party you are hosting easy and as stress free as possible. Honestly I can’t tell if you they work because I haven’t tried them.  What I can tell you is this recipe will work to make the cocktail portion of your evening stress free. 

I generally host at least one gathering in the month of December, if it isn’t my family Chanukah party then it’s a small gathering with my friends.  As much as I plan ahead inevitability I’ll still spend the first hour in the kitchen finishing up.  

Little nibbles will already be placed out and so will drinks but the last thing I want to worry about is playing bartender, which is why punches are the perfect cocktails to make.  One big batch can be made that morning or even the day before and you’re guests are good to go help themselves. 

The most amount of work in this Pomegranate Lime Rum Punch is getting all the seeds out of your pomegranate for the ice ring.  The rest comes together in a matter of minutes!

I absolutely love how festive this punch turned out.  The ice ring just pops in the center of the punch bowl, and the beautiful dark red color screams holiday cheer.
