This Bermuda Punch is tailored for those who love their cocktails with a bit more character and less bite from the citrus. The addition of pineapple juice and a tad more sweetness from the simple syrup and apricot liqueur perfectly complements the rum's warmth, making it a moreish drink that's hard to put down.
