Ti' punch ({{langx|ht|Ti ponch}}, {{IPA|ht|ti pɔ̃ʃ|}}; {{langx|fr|Petit Ponch}}) literally meaning "small punch", is a rum-based mixed drink that is especially popular in Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint Martin, Haiti, French Guiana, Réunion, and other French-speaking Caribbean islands.{{Cite web |title=This 3-Ingredient Punch Is as Easy to Make as It Is to Drink |url=https://www.liquor.com/recipes/ti-punch/ |access-date=2022-04-18 |website=Liquor.com |language=en}} It is also the national cocktail of Martinique and Guadeloupe.{{Cite web |title=Ti' Punch |url=https://www.diffordsguide.com/g/1129/punch-and-punches/ti-punch |access-date=2022-04-18 |website=www.diffordsguide.com |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2019-06-09 |title=Ti' Punch |url=https://cocktailpartyapp.com/drinks/ti-punch/ |access-date=2022-04-18 |website=Cocktail Party |language=en}} It is very similar to the daiquiri, which is usually identified with Cuba, and the caipirinha, identified with Brazil. The ti' punch is distinguished from these by its use of rhum agricole, and by typically having less lime juice.{{Cite web |title=Ti' Punch Recipe |url=https://www.seriouseats.com/ti-punch |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=Serious Eats |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Torner |first=Timo |date=2022-07-29 |title=Ti' Punch Recipe |url=https://cocktail-society.com/recipes/ti-punch-cocktail/ |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=Cocktail Society |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |date=2020-09-27 |title=Ti' Punch; or, a Magnificent Martinique Masterpiece |url=https://www.eddieknowsbest.net/drinks/ti-punch-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-lime |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221226161700/https://www.eddieknowsbest.net/drinks/ti-punch-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-lime |url-status=usurped |archive-date=December 26, 2022 |access-date=2023-09-07 |website=Eddie Knows Best |language=en-US}}

The drink is traditionally made with white rhum agricole, lime, and cane syrup.{{Cite web |last=Punch |title=Ti' Punch |url=https://punchdrink.com/recipes/ti-punch/ |access-date=2022-04-18 |website=Punch |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Ti Punch |url=https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/ti-punch-232717 |access-date=2022-04-18 |website=Epicurious |language=en-US}} While aged rhum agricole can be used in place of white rhum agricole, other fruit flavors may be added on top of the lime, and sugar may be substituted for cane syrup, a Ti' punch can only be made with rhum agricole.
