Scale
Main Ingredients
- ¾ cup pineapple juice
- ⅓ cup coconut rum (Malibu Original recommended)
- ½ cup lemon-lime soda
- ⅛ cup fresh lime juice
- ⅛ cup simple syrup
Garnish
- Fresh pineapple skewer
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker or a large mason jar with a lid, add the pineapple juice, coconut rum, lemon-lime soda, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake or shake vigorously to combine all ingredients well.
- Prepare Glasses: Fill two 12 oz. low-ball cocktail glasses three-quarters full with ice cubes.
- Pour Cocktail: Pour half of the cocktail mixture (approximately 1 cup) into each glass over the ice cubes.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with a skewer of fresh pineapple pieces and serve immediately for the best flavor and chill.
Notes
- Store any leftover punch in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but note that the ice will dilute the drink and the soda will lose its carbonation.
- Substitute coconut rum with white or spiced rum if you prefer a different flavor profile.
- Use mini 6 oz. cans of pineapple juice to avoid opening a large bottle and for easier measuring.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for larger groups.
- Do not add ice until ready to serve to prevent dilution.
- Swap lemon-lime soda for ginger ale or lemon-lime sparkling water for a different twist.
- Keep simple syrup on hand or make your own by heating equal parts sugar and water until dissolved, then cooling before storing in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
