Serving Size

Equipment

Large punch bowl or pitcher (2-3 quart capacity)

Muddler or wooden spoon
Ice cube trays
Mesh strainer
Measuring cups and spoons
Collins glasses for serving
Cocktail stirrer

Ingredients

2 cups white rum
4 cups pineapple juice
1 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup simple syrup
30-40 fresh mint leaves plus extra for garnish
2 cups club soda
1 fresh pineapple cut into chunks
Ice cubes
Pineapple wedges for garnish

Instructions

Put mint leaves in the punch bowl and press with a muddler to release the oils.
Add rum, pineapple juice, lime juice, and simple syrup to the bowl. Stir well to combine.

Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 1 hour to chill and let flavors blend.
Just before serving, add club soda and pineapple chunks. Stir gently.
Fill glasses with ice and pour in the punch mixture.

Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and pineapple wedges.

Notes

Keep the club soda separate until serving time to maintain carbonation. The base mixture can be made up to 24 hours ahead.

Fresh pineapple works best, but canned chunks can work in a pinch. Adjust simple syrup to taste based on the sweetness of your pineapple juice.

Make mint-infused simple syrup by adding 10 mint leaves during cooking for extra mint flavor.

Double strain the mixture if you don’t want small mint pieces in the final drink.

Tasting Notes

This tropical cocktail greets the nose with fresh pineapple aromas mixed with bright mint and warm rum notes. The scent brings to mind a sunny beach vacation.

The first sip reveals a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors. Fresh pineapple juice leads the way, followed by cool mint that adds a refreshing touch.

White rum provides a smooth base that lets the fruit shine through. The drink stays light and crisp rather than heavy or syrupy.

Key Flavor Notes:

Sweet pineapple
Cool mint
Light rum
Subtle citrus
Clean finish

The drink has a silky texture that coats the mouth pleasantly. Each element blends together while staying distinct enough to identify.

A gentle fizz from club soda adds sparkle without overwhelming the other components. The carbonation helps lift the flavors and keeps the drink lively.

The finish is clean and refreshing with lingering hints of mint and pineapple. The sweetness fades gradually, inviting another sip.
