This updated version of the classic planter’s punch celebrates South Carolina’s coastal heritage, blending rum, pineapple, and a spiced cinnamon syrup made with toasted Carolina Gold rice. While acknowledging the region’s complex colonial history and legacy of trade, it also reflects the South’s enduring love of punch and the Lowcountry’s rich traditions.
