Scale
Main Ingredients
- ¾ cup pineapple juice
- ⅓ cup coconut rum (Malibu Original recommended)
- ½ cup lemon-lime soda
- ⅛ cup fresh lime juice
- ⅛ cup simple syrup
Garnish
- Fresh pineapple skewer
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: In a cocktail shaker or a large mason jar with a lid, combine the pineapple juice, coconut rum, lemon-lime soda, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake well to blend all flavors together.
- Prepare glasses: Fill two 12 oz. low-ball cocktail glasses three-quarters full with ice cubes to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
- Serve punch: Pour half of the cocktail mixture, approximately 1 cup each, over the ice in each glass.
- Garnish and enjoy: Add a skewer of fresh pineapple pieces as garnish on each glass and serve immediately for best flavor.
Notes
- Store any leftover punch in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; note that ice will dilute the drink and soda may lose its fizz over time.
- If you prefer not to use coconut rum, substitute with white/clear rum or spiced rum for a different flavor profile.
- Mini 6 oz. cans of pineapple juice are convenient for portion control and keeping juice fresh.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to serve more guests.
- Do not add ice before serving to avoid watering down the punch prematurely.
- You can swap lemon-lime soda for ginger ale or lemon-lime sparkling water as a suitable alternative.
- Simple syrup can be bought or homemade by dissolving equal parts sugar and water over medium heat without boiling; store refrigerated for up to two weeks.
