📜 History

The Ti' Punch (Creole for "petit punch" or "small punch") is the national cocktail of Martinique and Guadeloupe. Unlike rum punches lengthened with juice, this drink celebrates the pure flavor of rhum agricole with minimal dilution. Traditionally served without ice, each person customizes their own to taste—a ritual known as "chacun prépare sa propre mort" (each prepares their own death).
