Health benefits of Spiced Rum Punch with Citrus and Luxardo

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form. Grapefruits are rich in folic acid. One grapefruit will give you 8% of your daily needs of folic acid.

Ingredients

1 cup high-proof rum (preferably Smith & Cross)
1 cup spiced rum (preferably Sailor Jerry)
1 cup fresh grapefruit juice, strained
3/4 cup fresh orange juice, strained
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, strained
1/3 cup Luxardo maraschino liqueur
1/4 cup simple syrup
2 teaspoons Peychaud's bitters
1 grapefruit, sliced into rounds
1 blood orange, sliced into rounds
1 lime, sliced into rounds
1/4 cup kumquats, sliced into rounds

Instructions

Fill 2 small freezer-safe shallow containers with 1 1/2" hot water and freeze until solid to make giant ice cubes, about 4 hours. (The bottoms of clean half-gallon milk cartons work great.)
Combine both rums, grapefruit juice, orange juice, lemon juice, liqueur, simple syrup, and bitters in a punch bowl.
Unmold ice (dip containers in warm water if needed) and add to punch along with citrus slices. Serve punch in 6-ounce glasses filled with ice.
