Ti-punch
The Ti-punch is an alcoholic drink which one often finds at the time of the Apéritif S West-Indian or Réunion are born.
The receipt: A bottom of Sugar of cane or Syrup battery, 2 fingers of white rum and a peel of lemon-yellow green. In Guadeloupe, one uses readily small yellow lemons, less bitter.
With the the Antilles, the Ti-punch is more than one traditional drink: it is a whole ceremonial. In general, the drinker looks at a long time his glass before carrying it to his mouth: he makes turn the liquid before drinking it of a dry blow of the wrist.
The creole expression “Ti Punch” means “Small Punch”, thus name Ti-Punch indicates simply an ordinary Punch and not a special version of the West-Indian Punch (to require Ti Punch is comparable to order a “small yellow” in a bar in France to obtain a ordinary Pastis).
