Scale
Main Ingredients
- ¾ cup pineapple juice
- ⅓ cup coconut rum (Malibu Original recommended)
- ½ cup lemon-lime soda
- ⅛ cup fresh lime juice
- ⅛ 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 well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Prepare Glasses: Fill 2 low-ball cocktail glasses (12 oz. each) three-quarters full with ice cubes to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
- Serve: Pour half of the cocktail mixture, about 1 cup each, over the ice cubes in each glass, ensuring even distribution.
- Garnish: Add a skewer of fresh pineapple pieces on each glass to enhance presentation and add a fruity touch.
Notes
- Store leftover punch in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; however, ice will dilute the drink and soda may become flat.
- You can substitute coconut rum with white/clear rum or spiced rum depending on your preference.
- Mini 6 oz. cans of pineapple juice are convenient for this recipe and help avoid opening large bottles.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
- Add ice only just before serving to prevent the punch from becoming watered down.
- Lemon-lime soda can be swapped with ginger ale or lemon-lime sparkling water for variation.
- Simple syrup can be purchased or homemade by dissolving equal parts sugar and water over medium heat without boiling, then cooling and storing in the fridge for up to two weeks.
