Tito's Punch is a popular summer drink that combines the perfect blend of fruity flavours with Tito's Handmade Vodka, making it an ideal choice for any summer occasion.
To prepare the syrup, combine granulated sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow the mixture to come to a boil and stir until the sugar dissolves, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and set it aside to cool.
Extract the lemon and lime juice, straining out any pulp. Transfer the juice to a bottle or container.
Once the syrup has cooled, add it to the bottle with the freshly squeezed citrus juice. Close the container and shake well to combine.
In a large bowl, mix together the homemade sour mix, vodka, rum, and pineapple juice. Stir well to ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed.
When ready to serve, pour the cocktail into individual glasses and garnish with a slice of orange. If desired, add grenadine to taste. Allow guests to add ice to their own glasses to prevent dilution from melting ice.
Notes
Use freshly squeezed citrus juice for the best flavour. Avoid using bottled juice, as it may contain preservatives and additives that can alter the taste of the cocktail.
Allow the syrup to cool completely before adding it to the citrus juice. This will prevent the juice from becoming too diluted and ensure that the flavours are properly balanced.
Use a large bowl to mix the cocktail ingredients, as this will make it easier to stir and distribute the ingredients evenly.
If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, add grenadine to taste. Keep in mind that grenadine is quite sweet, so add it gradually and taste the cocktail as you go.
