Rum Punch book by Elmore Leonard - ThriftBooks Rum Punch book by Elmore Leonard - ThriftBooks

Add a bit of zing: Using spices is optional. It’s not traditionally used when making rum punch, but try it and see if you like it. The oldest recipes seem to come in the form of easily memorisable rhymes – one quoted in the New York Times in 1908 calls for: “Two [measures] of sour, one and a half of sweet, three of strong and four of weak”, while Fun directs the reader to Jamaican rum punch is a fruity drink with a rum base. This tropical rum is popular among tourists and Jamaicans alike. Although golden rum is my usual drink of choice, here I think the dark sort makes more sense; its treacly, molasses quality stands up well to the other ingredients. Clean-cut white rum drowns in the welter of sweet and sour, and even the more emphatic demerara-like qualities of golden are wasted; a rum punch demands a blunderbuss in the form of the dark stuff.Strain into a smaller cold glass half-full of ice, top with a grating of nutmeg and gaudy garnish to taste. Elmore Leonard: Four Later Novels (LOA #280): Get Shorty / Rum Punch / Out of Sight / Tishomingo Blues (Library of America Elmore Leonard Edition) [Hardcover ] 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. THANK YOU for all of your support, for visiting my blog, commenting, and sharing my recipes with your friends and family. I am SO thankful for you! This is absolutely a high point in a career full of them. Like always, though, I find Leonard's stuff hard to review because all of his books, to one degree or another, are variations on a theme: double- and triple-crosses perpetrated by A) a shrewd woman, B) a world-weary guy (who typically has the hots for the shrewd woman), C) a couple incompetent villains, and D) assorted other Miami and/or Detroit lowlifes. And of course all of it is shot through with Leonard's unerring ear for dialogue.

Elmore Leonard's novel "Rum Punch" (1992) tells a tangled tale of crime, violence and double-crossing written in a punchy style with sharp dialogue. The plot is confusing to follow at first, but it works out. Most of the story is set in West Palm Beach, Florida; but the setting is not the primary focus of the book. The main interest of the work lies in the snappy writing and in the characters and their relationships.Cast grandioso, tutto perfetto: la mia palma va a Robert De Niro che interpreta un Louis Gara dall’incerto QI in modo semplice ma magistrale.

Rum Punch - Wikipedia

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! Larousse follows the same sort of ratios, which give an easy-drinking, but still defiantly poky punch.La musica! Come l’intero film è un omaggio alla blaxploitation: su tutte, questa dal killer refrain: What I recognized in Tarantino’s first adaptationof a Leonard book, especially after multiple viewings, were the unspoken parallels between director and writer. It’s as if they were destined for this prefect duet of spotlighting the action and character development within dialogue, as opposed to trigger-happy action scenes and pointed exposition. 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. Super! I need a tropical fruit punch recipe as I’m not a fan of the ‘fake’ juices. That said, this is classic and hits the spot!
