Most tropical islands offer the same type of "rum punch". Some mixture of local rum, juices, etc. For the most part they all taste the same. However, there was stand selling these drinks from a fresh coconut with freshly squeezed juices. Could have been the best drink I had while in the Bahamas.
Lemon slices steeped in honey for two weeks will produce an elixir that will be made in to a tea. This is day one.
The Purna-Kalasha is considered a symbol of abundance and "source of life" in the Vedas. Purna-Kumbha is preeminently a Vedic motif, known from the time of Rigveda. It is also called Soma-Kalasha, Chandra-Kalasha, Indra-Kumbha, Purnaghata, Purna-Virakamsya, Bhadra ghata, or Mangala ghata. It is referred to as "overflowing full vase" (purno-asya Kalasha) in the Vedas.
The Kalasha is believed to contain amrita, the elixir of life, and thus is viewed as a symbol of abundance, wisdom, and immortality.
