Looking for a fun tropical drink to enjoy year-round? This Bacardi Rum Punch is sweet, boozy, and perfect for any occasion!
With the tropical flavors of pineapple and rum at the forefront, this drink also utilizes orange juice, lime and grenadine to give you all the fruity punch flavors in one sip! For another tropical drink option, check out this Frozen Pineapple Coconut Margarita!
Plus, it’s very easy to mix up with just 6 ingredients, and can even be made right in the serving glass for less clean up (something I truly appreciate as a time-strapped mom who loves to relax with a fun cocktail!).
Bacardi Rum Punch Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need:
- White rum and dark rum. I love using a blend of both, but you can absolutely choose one or the other if that’s what you have on hand.
- Grenadine.
- Orange juice.
- Pineapple juice.
- Lime juice. Juice from 1/2 the lime should be plenty. You can use the other half for extra garnish if you like.
- Cherries. Optional for garnish.
Use Both Kinds of Rum
This Rum Punch is strong, thanks to the addition of both light and dark rum.
The major difference between dark and light rum is that dark rum is aged in oak, which gives it a deeper flavor with notes of vanilla and some nuttiness.
Here, we use both because the oakiness of the dark rum adds a complex flavor to this punch. However, the addition of too much dark rum competes with the tropical flavors of the orange and pineapple.
If you are to use just one, go for the light rum, but adding both will give you a perfectly balanced cocktail!
How to Make Bacardi Rum Punch
Consider Using a Mixing Glass
Making this cocktail is as simple as mixing all the ingredients together.
It’s best to make this in a mixing glass or shaker. That way, when you transfer it to your serving glass everything is sure to be integrated.
Pouring the ingredients directly into your glass will likely result in some separation (though it can absolutely be done for a quicker cocktail with less clean up).
The denser grenadine will sink to the bottom, the juices will sit in the middle, and the rum will float to the top. And while I love a beautifully layered drink, this one, in particular, tastes best if you get all the flavors in one sip.
Serve Over Ice
This rum punch is best-served ice cold.
Once you’ve mixed up all your ingredients, fill a glass with ice. Then, pour your cocktail over top to serve it cold.
