Pineapple Mango Rum Punch could win over anyone at first sight but it tastes even better than it looks which is saying something. This is my go to for warm weather gatherings because everyone can make their own and there is always a little show off moment with the cocktail garnishes. Plus the bright ombre color always brings a smile.

The first time I made this was for an outdoor brunch and people were more excited about their drink selfies than anything else on the table. It is that pretty and the flavor delivers.

I am obsessed with using edible flowers since they turn each glass into a little piece of art My niece once spent an entire brunch just picking her favorite blooms for everyone’s punch and it made the party feel extra festive

Storage Tips

If you want to prep ahead mix all juices and rum and store in the fridge up to twenty four hours Do not add ice or grenadine until serving time to keep things fresh and vibrant Leftover punch without the ice can stay delicious for two days

Ingredient Substitutions

If you do not have coconut rum use white or dark rum and add a splash of coconut water For extra tang you can swap in passion fruit juice for mango and it still tastes fantastic If you are out of grenadine try a spoon of pomegranate syrup or even a touch of cherry juice for color

Serving Suggestions

This rum punch shines at pool parties brunches or backyard BBQs I love to line up a little garnish bar so guests can make their punch unique It also pairs beautifully with spicy grilled foods or simple fruit skewers
