Planter's Punch is one of the drinks born in the Caribbean and known as one of the oldest cocktails of rum culture. In the 19th century, it became especially popular among European landowners and traders living on sugar cane plantations in Jamaica. The need for refreshing drinks in the tropics gave birth to this cocktail that combines rum and citrus.

The name of the cocktail comes from this history. The word "planter" refers to the landowners who managed sugar cane plantations at the time. Planter's Punch originated from the aromatic rum mixtures that plantation owners and their guests would drink to cool off. Over time, the recipe has changed in different regions, but the basic structure has always been based on a balance of rum, citrus and sugar.
