The Ti’ Punch is Martinique’s national cocktail, and the island’s answer to America’s Old-Fashioned. Traditionally the drink (pronounced “tee paunch” in the Caribbean—”ti” being the Creole variant of the French petit) includes a heavy dose of Martinique’s rhum agricole rounded out with touch of lime juice and a splash of cane syrup, a Caribbean sweetener reduced down from raw sugarcane juice (though simple syrup will do perfectly well in a pinch).
