Ingredients
Scale
Juices
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup mango juice (or nectar)
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Alcohol
- 1/2 cup light rum
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- 1/4 cup coconut rum (optional)
Sweetener
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
Additional
- Ice cubes
- Fresh pineapple slices, mango chunks, or lime wheels for garnish

Instructions
- Combine Juices: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine pineapple juice, mango juice, orange juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice to create the citrusy base for the punch.
- Add Rums: Stir in the light rum, dark rum, and coconut rum (if using) to infuse the punch with tropical alcohol flavors.
- Sweeten: Add the simple syrup and stir thoroughly. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more syrup if desired.
- Chill: Refrigerate the punch for about an hour to allow the flavors to meld together and to serve it chilled. Alternatively, it can be served immediately when poured over plenty of ice.
- Serve Over Ice: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the punch over them for a refreshing cooled drink.
- Garnish: Garnish each glass with fresh pineapple slices, mango chunks, lime wheels, or mint leaves to enhance the tropical experience visually and aromatically.
- Optional Fizz: For a sparkling variation, add a splash of sparkling water or ginger ale just before serving to give the punch a fizzy lift.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup to taste depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- The coconut rum is optional but adds a nice tropical flavor twist.
- The punch can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rums and add extra juices or sparkling water.
- Always use fresh lime juice for the best flavor quality.
