  1. 1

    Prepare a lime peel disc by cutting a round disc from the side of the fruit, ensuring some flesh backs the peel. Pour rhum and sugar cane syrup into an Old-fashioned glass. Squeeze the lime disc between your finger and thumb to express oils and a little juice, then drop it into the cocktail. Stir and consider adding one or two large ice cubes or a small chunk of block ice, depending on preference and glass size.

From the Bartender

The name 'Ti' is Creole for 'petit', meaning a small rum punch. Uniquely, it's traditionally not diluted with water or juice, and often served without ice, despite its tropical origins. A key element is the lime preparation: instead of a wedge or slice, a disc is cut from the side of the fruit, with some flesh backing the peel, to be squeezed and then dropped into the drink.
