My husband and I first served this punch at a dinner party over thirty years ago. It was a hit. We have tweaked it slightly but the original source book is long gone as we move frequently. There are variations of this recipe out there but none that are identical. At any rate, the first time we served this many of us didn't have a clear memory of much after the appetizers, but we all agreed we had a really good time. It has become our "goto" punch for crowds of 12 or more but we warn everyone to drink it cautiously. Potent doesn't begin to describe it, and the remarkable thing is that the punch is simply delicious. You can replace the 151 rum with 100 proof rum, but it's less fun.
