What could be better than sitting on Caribbean beaches somewhere with warm sand between your toes, and a refreshing tropical punch flavored cocktail served with a cute little umbrella in your hand? Ahhhh, now that is where I would like to be right now.

What you will need

  • Orange Juice – I prefer to use pulp-free fruit juice that is not from concentrate.
  • Pineapple Juice – fresh pineapple juice is best, but canned will also work. For best results chill before using.
  • Light Rum, like Bacardi
  • Dark Rum – a regular dark rum (not a spiced rum) adds more depth to this drink.
  • Coconut Rum, like Malibu to add to the tropical coconut flavor vibe.
  • Bacardi 151 Rum adds even more layers of flavor and a kick to this drink!
  • Grenadine syrup to give this drink it’s beautiful color, and a bit of sweetness.
