- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup mango juice (or nectar)
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Alcohol
- 1/2 cup light rum
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- 1/4 cup coconut rum (optional)
Other
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)

Instructions
- Combine Juices: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, mix together the pineapple juice, mango juice, orange juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice to create the flavorful base of the punch.
- Add Rums: Stir in the light rum, dark rum, and coconut rum (if using) thoroughly to blend the different rum flavors evenly throughout the mixture.
- Sweeten: Incorporate the simple syrup into the punch, stirring well. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more simple syrup if desired.
- Chill: Place the punch in the refrigerator and chill for about an hour to allow the flavors to meld and to serve it cold. Alternatively, you can serve immediately over ice if short on time.
- Serve: Pour the chilled punch into glasses filled with ice cubes to keep the cocktail refreshing and cool.
- Garnish: Enhance the presentation and flavor by garnishing each glass with fresh pineapple slices, mango chunks, lime wheels, or optional mint leaves for a fragrant finish.
- Optional Fizz: For a sparkling twist, add a splash of sparkling water or ginger ale to each glass before serving to give a lively effervescence to the punch.
Notes
- The coconut rum is optional but adds a lovely tropical depth to the punch.
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup to suit your desired level of sweetness or substitute with honey or agave syrup for a different flavor profile.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rums and add extra pineapple and mango juice or sparkling water.
- Use fresh fruit for garnishing to add color and enhance the overall presentation of the punch.
- If preparing for a large crowd, scale up the ingredients proportionally and mix in a large punch bowl.
