Ingredients
- 1 oz white rum
- 1 oz dark rum
- 1 oz coconut rum optional for a tropical twist
- 2 oz pineapple juice
- 1 oz orange juice
- 1/2 oz lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1/2 oz grenadine
- maraschino cherry, lime slice or orange wedge for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour in white rum, dark rum, coconut rum (optional), pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, and grenadine. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
- Fill a highball glass with fresh ice and strain the mixture into the glass.

Notes
- Coconut rum brings a tropical twist, but you can skip it for a more traditional punch.
- We love pineapple juice for its tropical flair, but mango or passion fruit juice can be fun alternatives.
- Grenadine adds sweetness and color. For a less sweet version, try pomegranate juice.
- Adjust rum proportions to your liking. More dark rum means a stronger, richer flavor.
- Make pineapple juice ice cubes to avoid diluting your drink as they melt.
- Balance sweetness by tweaking grenadine or lime juice amounts. Start with less, then add more to taste.
- For a party, scale up the recipe and serve in a pitcher. Just multiply ingredients by the number of servings.
