Jamaican Rum Punch Recipe

dark rum

🥗Healthier: light rum

💰Cheaper: spiced rum

Light rum is lower in calories, while spiced rum offers a similar flavor profile.

grenadine

🥗Healthier: pomegranate juice

💰Cheaper: cherry syrup

Pomegranate juice is a healthier alternative, while cherry syrup can be more affordable.

In a large pitcher, mix the pineapple, orange and lime juices. Add the rum and set aside.

For each individual serving glass, pour in one tablespoon of grenadine syrup (or simply the syrup from the maraschino cherry jar). Fill the glass with ice.

Prepare your garnishes beforehand by skewering citrus slices and cherries for a cute, tropical garnish and also to let guests know what flavors they will taste in their drink. (You can use toothpicks or skewer on a strong straw - or just slice into the orange and lime so that you can place on the edge of the serving glasses.)

When ready to enjoy, pour the rum punch into each glass to allow for a sunset effect. The drink will be red and the bottom and gradually fade to orange at the top.

Garnish and serve.
