Fresh pineapple adds natural sweetness and complexity, while orange juice brings a familiar citrus foundation. The blend creates a smooth, refreshing drink that’s not too sweet.

The rum adds depth without overpowering the fruit flavors. Its subtle vanilla notes complement the tropical fruits perfectly.

Texture: Smooth and slightly pulpy from the passion fruit, with a silky mouthfeel.

Finish: Clean and crisp with lingering tropical fruit notes.

Substitute

Can’t find passion fruit? No problem! Other tropical fruit juices work well in this cocktail recipe.

Mango juice makes an excellent swap for passion fruit juice. It brings a similar sweet-tart flavor and tropical feel to the drink.

Guava nectar creates a tasty alternative too. Its bright flavor matches well with the other punch ingredients.

A mix of pineapple and orange juice can replace passion fruit juice in equal amounts. This combo provides the right balance of sweet and tangy notes.

Quick substitutes list:

Mango juice
Guava nectar
Pineapple + orange juice blend
Peach nectar
Apricot nectar

For non-alcoholic versions, skip the rum and add more fruit juice or sparkling water instead.

Fresh fruit works too. Blend 1 cup of chopped mango or 2 peeled oranges with ¼ cup water until smooth. Strain before using.
