How to Make Trader Vics Fish House Punch

Dissolve 1 cup of granulated sugar in 1/2 cup of warm water until completely dissolved. Set aside.
In a large punch bowl (at least 4 gallons!), combine the following ingredients: 1.75 liters of dark rum, 750 ml of Jamaican rum, 750 ml of apricot brandy, 375 ml of lemon juice, 375 ml of orange juice, and 125 ml of lime juice.
Add the dissolved sugar syrup to the punch bowl and stir gently to combine.
Carefully add a 10-pound block of ice to the punch bowl.
Let the punch stand for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Stir gently every 30 minutes.
Before serving, give the punch a final gentle stir to redistribute the flavors and ensure proper chilling.
Keep the punch away from any enthusiastic (and possibly clumsy) helpers before serving to avoid any unfortunate incidents. Serve immediately.
Serves 20-25 guests.
