Tasting Notes
This Pineapple Mango Rum Punch is fruity, smooth, and just the right kind of tropical. The mango adds a mellow sweetness, while pineapple and orange juices bring a bright, juicy kick. A bit of lime juice adds a splash of tart that keeps things balanced. The white rum stays in the background, giving the drink a gentle warmth. Grenadine settles at the bottom for a subtle hint of berry and a nice layered look. The flavor is light and refreshing, not too sugary, with just enough citrus and rum to keep it from feeling flat.
Equipment and Glassware
You’ll need a shaker or mixing glass, jigger, and citrus press. A spoon helps layer the grenadine at the end. Use a tall glass like a hurricane or highball glass for the best look. The layered colors really stand out in a clear glass. Make sure to chill all the juices ahead of time to cut down on how much ice you’ll need. If you’re serving a group, a large pitcher works too just skip the shaking and pour over ice instead.
