This Caribbean Rum Punch with Pineapple and Orange Juice is bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced—sweet tropical fruit meets smooth rum with a hint of citrus. Inspired by classic island punch traditions, this drink is easy to make, crowd-friendly, and endlessly customizable.


Why This Recipe Works

  • Balanced sweetness from pineapple and orange juice

  • Layered depth using both white and dark rum

  • Quick to prepare and ideal for batching

  • Authentic Caribbean flavor profile


Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

  • 2 cups pineapple juice (chilled)

  • 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed preferred)

  • 1½ cups white rum

  • ½ cup dark rum

  • ¼ cup grenadine (for color and sweetness)

  • Juice of 1 fresh lime

  • Ice cubes or an ice ring

Optional Garnishes

  • Pineapple slices or wedges

  • Orange slices

  • Maraschino cherries

  • Fresh mint sprigs


Instructions

1. Build the Punch Base

In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine pineapple juice, orange juice, and fresh lime juice. Stir until well blended.

2. Add the Rum

Pour in the white rum and dark rum. Stir gently to combine without over-diluting.

3. Sweeten & Color

Slowly add grenadine, stirring lightly. This creates a vibrant tropical color while adding mild sweetness.

4. Chill & Serve

Add ice cubes or an ice ring to keep the punch cold. Garnish with pineapple slices, orange wheels, cherries, or mint before serving.


Caribbean Serving Tips

  • Classic Island Ratio: “One sour, two sweet, three strong, four weak”

  • Layered Look: Pour grenadine last for a sunset-style gradient

  • Party Prep: Mix juices in advance; add rum and ice just before serving

  • Mocktail Option: Replace rum with ginger ale or sparkling water


Flavor Variations

  • Add a splash of coconut rum for extra tropical richness

  • Include a dash of Angostura bitters for authentic Caribbean depth

  • Swap lime juice for lemon for a brighter citrus finish


Perfect For

  • Summer parties & BBQs

  • Beach-themed events

  • Holiday gatherings

  • Tropical cocktail menus


Pro Tip

For best flavor, always use chilled juices and quality rum—this keeps the punch refreshing without excess ice dilution.
