Scale
Drink Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1/3 cup coconut rum (e.g., 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
- Mix 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 vigorously to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Prepare Glasses: Fill two 12 oz. 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 mix (approximately 1 cup each) over the ice in each glass, ensuring an even distribution.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish each glass with a skewer of fresh pineapple pieces for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store any leftover punch in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but note that the ice will dilute the drink and the soda may go flat over time.
- If you dislike coconut flavor, substitute coconut rum with white/clear rum or spiced rum for a different but tasty variation.
- Using mini 6 oz. cans of pineapple juice is convenient since 6 oz. equals 3/4 cup, perfect for this recipe without opening a large bottle.
- The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled depending on the number of guests.
- Add ice only when ready to serve to prevent dilution of the punch.
- Lemon-lime soda can be replaced with ginger ale or lemon-lime sparkling water for a different twist.
- Keep a bottle of simple syrup handy in your pantry, or make your own by dissolving equal parts sugar and water over medium heat without boiling. Cool and store for up to two weeks.
