About
The most common story attributes the invention of Planter’s Punch to Jamaica, where it was prepared as early as the 17th or 18th century. This cocktail is said to have originated on sugarcane plantations, hence its name “Planter’s” (plantation owner), in reference to the planters who created this mixture to quench their thirst under the burning tropical sun.
