In the midst of the creative process for this recipe, Rhonda couldn’t decide which rum cocktail was more delicious: A Planter or a Hurricane Punch. The solution was quite simple: why not combine them both?<\/span><\/p>\nThe Margarita Mum Planter Hurricane Punch

This recipe is Rhonda’s spin on the ‘Knickerbocker’. The Knickerbocker is said to be a cocktail from the mid-1800s. Its name is based on the nickname of New York’s Dutch settlers who wore their pants (knickers) rolled up just below the knee.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Margarita Mum Knickerbocker
