Punch Maracuja 25°

Punch Maracuja 25° - 100cl

Longueteau Distillery

This punch is made with Longueteau rum and the passion fruit variety called maracuja: larger than the usual size, heavy, juicy, and very fragrant. The fruit is grown on the property: of the 100 hectares of land on the estate, 70 are dedicated to growing sugarcane and the remaining 30 to tropical fruits typical of the Caribbean region. This is where the fresh passion fruits used to flavor this punch come from. Harvested in the morning, they leave for the distillery in the afternoon to be macerated for several weeks in Longueteau 50 agricultural rum. This know-how corresponds to more than twenty years of experience in the creation and production of homemade punches at Longueteau: an authentic and gourmet recipe, ideal for an aperitif.

To find out more
The Longueteau distillery, located in Capesterre-Belle-Eau (Guadeloupe), is the oldest distillery on the island still in operation. It has the particularity of being entirely autonomous in the production of sugar cane, which it uses to obtain its magnificent terroir agricultural rums. Agricultural rum, we point out, is made from pure sugar cane juice unlike many other Caribbean rums, which are produced from cane molasses. It is a specialty of the French Antilles. The estate is currently in the hands of François Longueteau, a distiller since 1979. Production is, as it was originally, artisanal and traditional, but the sugarcane terroirs are developed using plot-by-plot methods—this is Longueteau's unique feature, the first distillery on the island to adopt this approach. Two varieties of sugarcane, blue cane and red cane, are cultivated, as well as fruits from the Guadeloupe region. Longueteau rums and the resulting preparations (punches, shrubberies, etc.) are fine, aromatic, deep, and fragrant.
