Serving Size

Equipment

Large punch bowl or pitcher (64 oz capacity)
Measuring cups
Ice cube trays
Cocktail glasses
Long spoon for stirring.
Sharp knife and cutting board
Citrus juicer (optional)

Ingredients

2 cups white rum
3 cups pineapple juice
1 cup coconut cream
1 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup simple syrup
2 cups club soda
3 cups ice cubes
1 fresh pineapple cut into chunks
2 limes sliced into wheels
Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

Cut the fresh pineapple into 1-inch chunks. Slice the limes into thin wheels.
Pour rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, lime juice, and simple syrup into the punch bowl. Stir well to combine.
Add the club soda and stir gently to keep the bubbles.

Float the pineapple chunks and lime wheels in the punch.
Add ice cubes just before serving.
Garnish each glass with mint leaves and extra fruit pieces.

Notes

Store any leftover punch without ice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Make it non-alcoholic by replacing rum with extra pineapple juice and coconut water.

For a stronger drink, add an extra 1/2 cup of rum.

Pre-chill all ingredients for the best results.

Fresh pineapple juice works better than canned, but both options are fine.

Tasting Notes

This tropical cocktail brings sweet and tangy flavors in each sip. The fresh pineapple juice adds natural sweetness while coconut rum creates a smooth, creamy texture.

Notes of vanilla and caramel from the aged rum blend with bright citrus from fresh lime juice. The coconut water adds a light, refreshing element that balances the drink’s sweetness.

Primary Flavors:

Sweet pineapple
Creamy coconut
Citrus lime
Warm vanilla

The drink starts sweet on the front of the tongue and ends with a gentle rum warmth. Its texture is silky and medium-bodied, not thick or syrupy.

When served ice-cold, the punch has a clean, crisp finish that makes it very drinkable. The flavors remain distinct rather than muddled together.

Aroma Profile:

Fresh tropical fruit
Sweet coconut
Light rum notes
Bright citrus

The garnish of fresh pineapple and lime adds visual appeal while boosting the fruity scent. A sprinkle of nutmeg on top brings a subtle spice note that enhances the rum’s complexity.

Substitute

You can make this drink without alcohol by using pineapple juice instead of rum. Mix it with coconut cream and a splash of lime juice for the same tropical taste.

Swap dark rum with light rum or spiced rum to change the flavor. Vodka or gin also work well in this recipe.

For a non-dairy version, replace coconut cream with coconut water. The drink will be lighter but still taste great.

Fresh pineapple juice is best, but canned works too. Look for 100% juice with no added sugar.

Common Substitutes:

Coconut milk instead of cream
Orange juice for pineapple
Lemon juice for lime
Ginger ale for added fizz

Maple syrup or agave for simple syrup

Missing garnishes? Try orange slices, lime wedges, or mint leaves instead of pineapple chunks.

Make it fizzy by adding club soda or sparkling water. Start with 2 ounces and adjust to taste.
