All arranged rums & punches

Arranged rum or punch takes its roots in the trade of spices between Reunion Island and Madagascar between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, like Spiced Rum. This tradition has spread to the overseas departments and regions and contributes to the influence of the festive culture of rum.

The arranged rum is a traditional preparation originating from the islands of the Indian Ocean, particularly from Reunion and Madagascar. It's a true culinary art involving the infusion of various ingredients in rum to create beverages with unique and diverse flavors.

The Foundation of Arranged Rum: The Quality of the Rum

To make a good arranged rum, selecting a high-quality rum is crucial. Agricultural rum, derived from the fermentation and distillation of sugar cane juice, is ideal for this concoction. Typically, a white rum, which is more neutral in taste compared to amber or aged rums, is preferred to allow the full expression of the ingredients' aromas.

Different Appellations of Rum Origin

There are various types of rum, depending on their geographic origin and production method:

  • AOC Martinique rum, known for its uniqueness and distinctive terroir;
  • Guadeloupe rum, less regulated but equally cherished;
  • Reunion Island rum, often used for making arranged rums;
  • Madagascar rum, famed for its spicy flavors and vanilla notes.

The Best Rums for Your Arranged Rum:

Generally, we use a high-quality white rum, pure cane juice from Martinique or Guadeloupe, or traditional rum from Reunion Island. Bottles of white rum are available in 70cl or 1L sizes, as well as in 2 to 10L cubis for economy and practicality in storing your white rum.

What is the Rum/Fruit Ratio for Your Arranged Rum?

Fruits and cane sugar typically occupy 30 to 50% of your infusions. For a 70cl bottle, count between 20 and 35cl of white rum, completing the rest of the bottle's volume with fruits and cane sugar.

A 70cl bottle of white rum allows you to make two infusions. A 1L bottle can make up to three arranged rums.

Difference between Punch and Arranged Rum

Beverage Difference: Cocktails vs Infusion

Unlike arranged rum, which primarily consists of spices, fruits, or leaves infused in rum, punch is traditionally consumed as an aperitif and contains a high proportion of sugar and syrup, in addition to fruits and other juices. There is often confusion between these two drinks, especially when arranged rums are sweet and less strong in alcohol. According to European Union directives, rum punch is classified as a "rum liqueur" and not as a last-minute prepared aperitif.

A Matter of Geography

Both involve the infusion of fruits and spices in white rum, enhanced with cane sugar, yet in the French Antilles, we speak of punch or fruit punch, whereas in the Indian Ocean, we talk about arranged rums or fruit-infused arranged rums.

However, be mindful not to refer to punch in Reunion and arranged rum in the French Antilles (Martinique or Guadeloupe).

The Medicinal Benefits of Arranged Rum

Beyond being a flavorful drink, arranged rum has medicinal properties thanks to the plants and spices it contains. Indeed, some preparations are traditionally used to relieve various ailments:

  • Arranged rum with ginger is known for its aphrodisiac and toning properties;
  • Arranged rum with cinnamon helps combat ENT infections and digestive disorders;
  • Arranged rum with vanilla has relaxing and soothing properties;
  • Arranged rum with chili pepper stimulates blood circulation and strengthens the immune system.

How to Enjoy Flavored Rum?

Flavored rum is best savored at room temperature. Although possible, adding ice cubes can dilute its aromas, instead use ice cubes that do not melt.

Enjoyed in summer, some prefer it chilled for its refreshing effect. In this case, we recommend refrigerating it a bit before serving rather than adding ice cubes. However, using ice cubes remains a personal choice.

Make sure to shake the bottle well before serving to mix the flavors, as sugar can settle.

Some cream-based arranged rums like Isautier sweets or coconut-flavored rums tend to solidify. It is important to store them at room temperature and stir well before serving.

When to Enjoy Flavored Rum?

Flavored rum is often enjoyed as a digestif, with its sweet taste perfectly complementing or replacing desserts. It is also delightful as an aperitif, during celebrations, or at any moment of the day, always providing a moment of pleasure and relaxation, whether alone or in good company, while advocating responsible consumption.


Whether pure or in cocktail, flavored rum reveals its best flavors when consumed neat. This allows for a full appreciation of its fruity and spicy nuances. However, it also lends itself well
