Answer by ocealanrYou can try this cocktail, Planters Punch. I’m not sure about the costs but it should fit within your budget.
60 ml of dark rum
7 ml of grenadine
30 ml of lime juice
Alternatives:
30 ml of lemon juice
120 ml of orange juice
60 ml of sugar syrup

Whilst there are many variations to the ingredients in the Planter’s Punch, this is the version that we recommend. The grenadine is optional, but if you love the taste of grenadine, then it’s a must! The first step is to take your cocktail shaker, and mix all of the ingredients in it until you’re happy that everything’s mixed nicely – this typically takes around 2 or 3 minutes.

If you prefer your cocktail beautifully chilled, then the addition of some crushed ice is recommended. You can blend down ice cubes in a suitable blender. Once you have your crushed ice, you can then pour the ice into your glass, along with the mixture you created in the previous step.

Sit back and relax. Enjoy your lovely drink for which there will be lots and lots of it!
