Strain into a smaller cold glass half-full of ice, top with a grating of nutmeg and gaudy garnish to taste. La musica! Come l’intero film è un omaggio alla blaxploitation: su tutte, questa dal killer refrain:

Rum Punch - Wikipedia

In the fine tradition of thirst-quenching tropical pours, it also has a hefty acidic element, which is traditionally provided by lime juice. A recipe in the September 1878 issue of the British magazine Fun calls for lemon, but I assume that is because they were more easily available in Victorian Britain (although I’m willing to stand corrected). Gary Regan’s The Joy of Mixology and Trader Vic’s use both, but I can’t see the point, when the keener, greener sharpness of the lime plays off so well against the sweeter elements.DeGroff, Larousse and Trader Vic’s use grenadine syrup to give what David Wondrich, writing in Esquire, calls a “crazy colour” and a red-berry sweetness. It feels appropriately gaudy, but the fruity flavour changes the character of the drink, robbing it of its simplicity. Forgotten the title or the author of a book?

Fourteen years later, Ordell has become a thief and minor-league gun runner while Louis is fresh out of prison. Also returning is Ordell's sometime girlfriend, Melanie. Ordell has a big score in mind that involves ripping off the leader of a group of white supremacists, and he recruits his old pal Louis to give him a hand, dangling Melanie before him as bait.

I usually can't give Elmore Leonard less than a five star rating. From this era Leonard anyway (1980 until he died in 2013). It's obvious and been said before what an incredible writer he is. So I'm not saying it. Etichetta liquore inizi '900 cromolitografiaDE-COLL' - PUNCH RUMSucc. L.Origlia e C.

Book.Four years later, I watched Pulp Fiction (1994) for the first time and wondered if Tarantino and Leonard had long been buddies, because I saw so many similarities in the snappy dialogue and rounded portrayals of underworld baddies and the cop out to collar them. I recall someone saying how Elmore Leonard isn't old school `cause he built the school. Very true. My favorite Elmore Leonard novels are Tishomingo Blues and Pagan Babies; Rum Punch is my very favorite, thus this review. Also, in addition to reviewing the book, let me plug the audiobook read by Joe Mantegna. The voice of Joe Mantegna is pitch-perfect, his rhythm and inflections capturing each of the characters, male and female, as well as the mood and charged atmosphere of the entire story. Yes, rum punch can get you drunk. But it depends on the amount you drink, your body mass and whether you’re male or female. Remember to leave the rum punch to sit for a little while before serving if you make it in a bowl. Don’t add ice!
