<>, to close off the year 2011, Jamaica had some exciting changes with the People's National Party (PNP) winning the 2011 elections. Party Leader and our new Prime Minister designate is Portia Simpson Miller. She delivered a very emotional, controlled and conciliator victory speech. Read more about Portia Simpson.

The Jamaican Cuisine - Recipe Of The Month

<>, we are still in the spirit of celebration so I am repeating my delicious Jamaica Rum Punch recipe.

Use authentic Jamaican J. Wray & Nephew Rum and remember to keep this ratio in mind:

One part sour (Lime Juice)
Two part sweet (Sugar and/or Syrup)
Three parts strong (authentic Jamaican white rum)
Four parts weak (Water or Fruit Juice of your choice)

Note use one part rum to roughly two to three glasses of fruit juice.
Preparation

Mix 1 cup lime juice, 2 cups strawberry flavored syrup or sugar, 3 cups Jamaican rum, 4 cups water or fruit juice and lots of ice.

Serve with a slice of lemon or lime on the side of your glass and remember to drink responsibly.

Enjoy!!
