Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- ¾ cup pineapple juice
- ⅓ cup coconut rum
- 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 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 ingredients thoroughly.
- Prepare Glasses: Fill two 12 oz. low-ball cocktail glasses three-quarters full with ice cubes to chill the drink properly without over-diluting it immediately.
- Pour and Serve: Pour half of the cocktail mixture (approximately 1 cup each) over the ice in each glass, then garnish with a skewer of fresh pineapple pieces for a tropical touch and visual appeal.
Notes
- Store leftover punch in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but note that ice will dilute the flavor and soda may go flat.
- If coconut flavor is not preferred, substitute the coconut rum with white/clear or spiced rum without compromising the cocktail's balance.
- Mini 6 oz. cans of pineapple juice are convenient for this recipe, reducing waste and keeping juice fresh.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to serve more guests.
- Do not add ice until ready to serve to prevent watering down the cocktail prematurely.
- Lemon-lime soda can be swapped for ginger ale or lemon-lime sparkling water for a different twist.
- Keep simple syrup stocked or make your own by heating equal parts sugar and water until sugar dissolves, then cool and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
