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

- 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)
Other

Instructions
- Combine the juices: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, pour together the pineapple juice, mango juice, orange juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice, mixing to combine all the fruity flavors evenly.
- Add the rums: Stir in the light rum, dark rum, and coconut rum if desired, ensuring all the alcohol is well incorporated into the juice mixture.
- Sweeten the punch: Pour in the simple syrup and stir thoroughly. Taste your punch and adjust the sweetness by adding more simple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
- Chill the punch: Place the punch in the refrigerator for about an hour to allow the flavors to meld and to serve it nicely chilled, or you can proceed to serve immediately over ice.
- Serve over ice: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled punch over the ice to keep your drink cool and refreshing.
- Garnish the drink: Enhance the presentation by adding fresh pineapple slices, mango chunks, lime wheels, or mint leaves on top of each glass for a tropical touch.
- Add fizz (optional): For a sparkling twist, add a splash of sparkling water or ginger ale to each glass before serving to give your punch a lively, fizzy lift.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- Substitute mango juice with mango nectar if you want a thicker consistency and richer flavor.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rums and add extra juice or sparkling water.
- Serve immediately after adding ice to maintain freshness.
- You can prepare the punch base in advance and chill; add ice and garnish just before serving.
