Mix the punch: In a large punch bowl or beverage dispenser, combine the white rum, Cointreau, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and fresh lime juice. Stir well to combine.
Chill: Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Add the fizz: Just before serving, pour in the chilled Sprite and gently stir to preserve the bubbles.
Prep the garnishes: Float orange wheels and cherries on top of the punch for a dramatic, blood-red finish. Wash the ping pong balls with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly before use. Important: Ping pong balls are decorative only and are not edible. Clearly inform guests, and keep them separate from the drink when serving. Thread an orange wedge and a cherry onto each machete cocktail pick and set aside for guests to use.
Serve: Write “REDRUM” on clear plastic cups, rim each cup with red sugar, and fill with ice. Ladle in the punch and finish with a machete cocktail pick for a spooky, The Shining-inspired presentation.
