Stroh Rum Punsch

Stroh Rum Punsch is an Austrian punch speciality built on Stroh Inlander rum, the strong spiced rum that gives the house its character. Bottled at 25% and produced to the established Stroh recipe, it is deliberately concentrated and designed to be infused with water before drinking. The rum brings the warm spice, while the punch base rounds it with balanced sweetness so the finished drink is accessible and quick to prepare.

The nose carries spicy rum with fine sweetness and subtle spicy notes, the palate round and balanced with mild spiciness and pleasant sweetness, the finish warming, soft and long. Its trade use is straightforward and seasonal, mixed with hot water to the strength wanted and served warm as a winter punch. It pairs naturally with winter biscuits such as gingerbread, vanilla crescents and nut cake or yeast strudel, and stands up to savoury cold weather fare too. For a back bar it offers a ready made hot drink that needs only kettle water, with the spiced rum body doing the heavy lifting. Keep the dilution light for a stronger pour, longer for an easy sipping warmer.
