Flanders' Planter's Punch

Greg Shutters reverse-engineered this punch from the one Ned Flanders serves Homer in the Simpsons episode 'The War of the Simpsons'. Ned describes it as rum, bourbon and a small dab of crème de cassis, and the creator scaled those measures to 3 oz white rum, 1½ oz bourbon and ½ oz crème de cassis. Homemade sour mix and club soda complete the drink, which is both tasty and strong.
