Be sure the barbadine is soft to the touch and ripe.
Cut in half and scoop the seeds out.
Place the seeds in a small bowl and add a little water. Set aside.
Peel the skin of the fruit and place the flesh into a large bowl.
Strain the seeds and squeeze the pulp around the seeds to extract the flavor.
Discard the seeds.
To a blender, add barbadine flesh, strained seed pulp and all other ingredients.
Blend.
Taste test and adjust spices and sweeteners.
Add cold water if you want a thinner, runnier punch.
Blend again.
Serve ice cold.
