This is the traditional planter's punch that follows the old rhyme: One of sour (lime juice), two of sweet (sugar), three of strong (rum), four of weak (ice or water).

In this cooling blender drink, rum meets fresh pineapple, tart lime, and fragrant mint.

Fizzes, which have been popular drinks in the late morning and afternoon, are usually served in highball glasses. They are made from liquor, citrus juices and sugar, shaken with ice. The mixture is strained into glasses, which are then filled with club soda or other carbonated drink, including Champagne. Egg, both yolk and white, is used in some fizzes.
