Junkanoo Punch
Flavors of the Bahamas
Total time: less than 15 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
The Bahamian festival of Junkanoo is an energetic, colorful parade of brightly costumed people gyrating and dancing to the rhythmic accompaniment of cowbells, drums and whistles. The celebration occurs on December 26 and January 1 -- beginning in the early hours of the morning (2:00 a.m.) and ending at dawn.

Junkanoo is reminiscent of New Orleans' Mardi Gras and Rio de Janeiro's Carnival, but it is distinctly Bahamian and exists nowhere else. It is more a carnival atmosphere than a spectator event, as there are tents featuring native food and drink for sale and visitors can also join in the parade.
