Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1/3 cup coconut rum (such as Malibu Original)
- 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda
- 1/8 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/8 cup simple syrup
Garnish
- Fresh pineapple skewer
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker or a large mason jar with a lid, add the pineapple juice, coconut rum, lemon-lime soda, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake or shake vigorously to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Prepare Glasses: Fill two 12-ounce low-ball cocktail glasses three quarters full with ice cubes to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
- Serve Punch: Pour half of the cocktail mixture (approximately 1 cup) into each prepared glass over the ice, ensuring an even distribution.
- Garnish and Present: Garnish each glass with a skewer of fresh pineapple pieces to add a tropical touch and enhance the presentation.
Notes
- You can store any leftover punch in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but note that ice will dilute the drink and the soda will go flat over time.
- If you dislike the flavor of coconut, substitute the coconut rum with white/clear rum or spiced rum for different flavor variations.
- Mini 6-ounce cans of pineapple juice are convenient for this recipe since 6 oz equals 3/4 cup, helping avoid opening large bottles.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to serve more guests.
- Do not add ice to the punch before serving to prevent dilution.
- You can substitute lemon-lime soda with ginger ale or lemon-lime sparkling water for a different twist.
- Keep simple syrup on hand for cocktails; it can be made by heating equal parts sugar and water until the sugar dissolves, then cooling and refrigerating for up to two weeks.
