National Rum Punch Cocktail Day

 Today is National Rum Punch Day.

To help me get my holiday groove on for this big alcoHOLiday, Diplomatico Rum sent me a sample of their Rum.  It certainly made the holiday more spirited.  This is an easy, fresh little island cocktail and a great way to hold on to summer with a death grip.

Enjoy!
