Scale
Juices
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup mango juice (or nectar)
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Alcohol
- 1/2 cup light rum

Other Ingredients

Instructions
- Combine Juices: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the pineapple juice, mango juice, orange juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice. This forms the tropical base of your punch.
- Add Rums: Stir in the light rum, dark rum, and coconut rum if using, blending all the distinct rum flavors together with the fruit juices for a rich spirited mix.
- Sweeten: Add the simple syrup to the mixture and stir well. Taste your punch and adjust the sweetness by adding more syrup if desired to fit your palate.
- Chill: Refrigerate the punch for about an hour to let the flavors meld and chill thoroughly, or serve immediately if short on time.
- Serve Over Ice: Pour the punch into glasses filled with plenty of ice cubes to keep the drink cold and refreshing.
- Garnish: Garnish each glass with fresh pineapple slices, mango chunks, lime wheels, or mint leaves to add a decorative touch and extra aroma.
- Optional Fizzy Lift: For a sparkling finish, optionally add a splash of sparkling water or ginger ale to each glass just before serving to add a lively fizz.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness with simple syrup to suit your taste preference.
- Coconut rum is optional but adds a nice tropical depth.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit all rums and add extra juice or sparkling water.
- Serve immediately over ice if you prefer a less diluted punch.
- Using fresh-squeezed lime juice enhances the punch’s brightness.
- Add sparkling water or ginger ale just before serving to maintain its fizz.
