When presented at swanky San Diego bar Polite Provisions, this whimsical punch comes in a glorious cocktail-ready treasure chest. Sadly, you likely don't have such items lying around the kitchen, but you can still have a great time and make yourself a good drink using this foolproof recipe for liquid fun. Bartender Erick Castro says the drink's inspiration came when friends visited him during one of the only weeks that it rained in San Diego. He says, "The idea behind the drink was to to come up with a tropical drink that you could drink with friends when it was raining out."
