Pirate's Plunder Punch

An upgraded version of the traditional Grog, the Bumbo was favored by pirates and is believed to be one of the earliest fruity, sweet drinks. Unlike the Grog served in the Royal Navy, pirates infused their concoction with exotic spices and tropical fruits obtained through their plundering adventures. This delightful libation, often enjoyed without the frills of a tiny paper umbrella, captures the spirit of adventure and the thrill of the high seas.
