I’m a girl who loves a vacay boos. I’ll take a lounge on the beach in the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, or the Bahamas any day over any other vacation especially with a glass of Rum Punch. Giving you those vacay vibes in a homemade version was super important to me, and I think I nailed it. This one mixes up tropical juices, rum, a little citrus and grenadine, and the flavor is straight poppin. Unwind and get into one of these.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pineapple juice
- 2 cups Orange juice freshly squeezed
- 1 1/2 cups Lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1/2 cup Tart cherry juice
- 1/2 cup Grenadine
- 1 teaspoon Angostura bitters
- 1/2 cup White rum
- 1/2 cup Spiced rum
- 1 Navel orange
Instructions
- Stir together fruit juices, grenadine, and bitters.
- Stir in rums.
- Pour over crushed ice in glasses.
- Garnish with an orange slice.
Notes
- Fridge: You can store any leftover punch in an airtight container. It will last about 3 days usually. However, if you used fresh squeezed juices, it will last less time (like 2 days) because they degrade faster.
- Freeze: You can definitely freeze the punch in an airtight container but the flavor may thin a bit after thawing.

Recipe Tips
- Use Fresh Squeezed Juices: Nothing makes a fruity drink better than freshly squeezed juices. You can’t fake it boos! It just adds vibrancy and brighter flavor.
- Quality Rum: Y’all, the better the rum, the better the drink. The best quality rums will keep this rum punch crisp, clean, and complex.
- Chill Before You Serve: This drink is best served up cold so make sure you chill it in the fridge before serving to the crowd.
Ingredient Notes
- Rum: You can play around with these and sub in some coconut rum, dark rum, or gold rum.
- Juices: You can substitute pineapple juice with passion fruit, mango or guava juice. For the orange and lime juices, try other citrus juices like grapefruit and lemon instead. Cherry juice can be switched out for pomegranate or cranberry juice for similar bitter feels and color pop.
- Grenadine: If you want to lower that sweet quotient, replace grenadine with a simple syrup. Just adjust how sweet you want it to be.
Recipe Help
Sure thing boos! To make a non-alcoholic version, just leave out the rums in the recipe. Increase the amount of pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, tart cherry juice, and grenadine to balance it out. Or you can throw in some ginger ale, club soda or sparkling water for some fizz.
Yep! Just prep all the fruit juices, grenadine, and bitters mixture in advance and store them in the fridge. When you’re ready to drink, add in the rums, stir and serve them up.
