Rum Punch for a Crowd
Ingredients
- 2 cups dark rum
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup grenadine
- Ice for the dispenser
- Orange wheels and maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions
- Pour the rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and lime juice into a 1-gallon drink dispenser.
- Stir with a long spoon for about 30 seconds, reaching to the bottom so nothing settles unmixed.
- Pour in the grenadine without stirring, letting it sink partway so the punch shows a sunset gradient in the glass.
- Cover and refrigerate the dispenser for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
- Just before guests arrive, give the dispenser one slow stir to distribute the grenadine, then add ice to the fill line.
- Fill punch cups directly from the spigot, then finish each with an orange wheel and a cherry dropped on top.
Good to Know
For the zero proof dispenser, leave out the rum entirely and add an extra cup of pineapple juice in its place; the ratio of sweet to tart barely shifts.
