Notes

Store leftover punch in the refrigerator without ice for up to 24 hours.

The recipe works well with dark rum instead of white rum for a richer flavor.

For a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum with ginger ale or additional club soda.

Frozen pineapple chunks can replace ice cubes to prevent dilution.

Fresh juices make the best flavor, but bottled juices work too.

Tasting Notes

This tropical cocktail brings sweet and tangy pineapple flavors mixed with smooth Caribbean rum. The fresh pineapple juice adds natural sweetness, while the rum provides warmth and depth.

The drink starts with bright citrus notes from fresh lime juice. A touch of orange juice adds a subtle sweetness that complements the pineapple perfectly.

Flavor Profile:

• Sweet pineapple
• Zesty citrus
• Warm rum notes
• Light tropical finish

The texture is smooth and refreshing, with a balanced blend of fruit juices and spirits. Ice dilution creates the ideal serving consistency.

A garnish of fresh pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry adds visual appeal and extra fruity aroma. The natural oils from the pineapple rind enhance the drinking experience.

The cocktail finishes clean and crisp, making it an ideal choice for warm weather sipping. Its flavor intensity works best when served well-chilled.

Serving Temperature: 35-40°F (2-4°C)

Substitute

You can swap out the pineapple rum with white rum or dark rum in this cocktail. Coconut rum also makes a tasty alternative that keeps the tropical theme going.

Don’t have fresh pineapple juice? Canned pineapple juice works just as well. Make sure to pick 100% pure juice without added sugar.

For the citrus mix, use these options:

• Lemon juice instead of lime juice
• Orange juice in place of pineapple juice
• Grapefruit juice to add a tart twist

The grenadine can be replaced with:

• Simple syrup
• Pomegranate juice
• Cherry juice
• Raspberry syrup

Want a non-alcoholic version? Mix equal parts pineapple juice and sprite, then add a splash of grenadine. This creates a mocktail that’s perfect for everyone to enjoy.

For garnish alternatives, try:

• Orange slices
• Maraschino cherries
• Fresh mint leaves
• Lime wedges
