RUM PUNCH
If you’re in the mood for a fruity, refreshing drink, rum punch is the one for you! Punch is widely considered to be the first cocktail, from which all other cocktail variations stem, and this version is perfect for a late summer day or a tropical vacay. The taste of the fruit outweighs the flavor of the rum, so it’s also great for people who don’t like the taste of alcohol, but still want to enjoy a little buzz. It’s easy to make at home (just combine the ingredients and shake), and it can also be scaled up to serve a crowd.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces white rum
- 1 ounce pineapple or mango juice
- 1 ounce orange juice
- ½ ounce lime juice
- ½ ounce grenadine or strawberry syrup
- Sliced fresh fruit
Instructions
- Combine liquids in a cocktail shaker.
- Shake well.
- Garnish and enjoy!
