Jamaican Rum Punch Cocktail

My refreshing Jamaican Rum Punch is perfect for entertaining, or sipping while grilling. This colorful cocktail combines light, dark, and coconut flavored rum with pineapple, orange, and lime juice with a splash of grenadine.

The fruity punch is so easy to drink, that you can forget that it's pretty heavy on the alcohol content as well. If serving as a punch in a large bowl for a party, be sure to use small glasses so your guests don't get too tipsy 🙂

🍹 Ingredients

I've included my favorite brands for a truly authentic Jamaican flavor. You simply can't go wrong with Wray and Nephew, Appleton Estate, or Myer's Dark Rum if you can get your hands on them.

  • Light Rum - 1 ounce Wray & Nephew Overproof Rum or Bacardi Light White Rum.
  • Dark Rum - ¼ ounce Myer's Dark Rum or Appleton Estate.
  • Coconut Rum - 2 ounces Malibu or Bacardi brand coconut rum.
  • Pineapple Juice - 2 ounces.
  • Orange Juice - 1 ounce.
  • Lime Juice - ½ ounces real lime juice.
  • Grenadine Syrup - ¼ ounce (Anchor Cherry Syrup see notes).
  • Optional Garnish - Lime, pineapple, orange or cherry.

Alternate brands are included such as Bacardi (which offers light, dark, and coconut rums), Plantation brand dark rum, and Captain Morgan offers a dark rum as well.

Be sure to see the free printable recipe card below for ingredients, exact amounts & instructions with tips!

🍸 How To Make Jamaican Rum Punch

🥂 Cocktail Tips & Variations

  • In Jamaica, you would also use Anchor Cherry Syrup rather than grenadine. I have not been able to find any on a grocery store shelf, but it is available for purchase online. Oh, and the Anchor Cherry Syrup is beyond yummy!!
  • To really be in the Jamaican spirit of things and add the best to your amazing rum punch. Use real lime juice (not any bottled syrup-like Rose's or squeeze lime)!!

Making Rum Fruit Punch In Advance

The cocktail recipe below has a handy slider to adjust the serving size for making a large batch of Jamaican rum punch. Hover over the serving number '1' and the slider to adjust your serving size shows up.

Fruit punches like this rum punch can be made in advance for easy entertaining! Make it anytime in the day prior to your guests' arrival, but not more than about 8 hours earlier.

🍲 Foods To Serve With

Island flavors and rum drinks, you need some great party appetizers. I got you covered, take a look at some of these great party foods!

  • Tropical flavors like coconut work really well with the rum, try my Coconut Shrimp.
  • Nachos are one of the best party foods around. Everyone will dig in to this giant pile of nachos.
  • Mix in some southern bayou flavors with my Cajun Fries!
  • Tater Tots, hey they aren't just for kids. Simple and bite sized.
  • Well, you can also try a personal favorite like my Corn Dogs, a drink in one hand and a awesome easy corn dog in the other.

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients ( light rum, dark rum, coconut rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, and grenadine syrup ) in a shaker with ice.
  • Shake well until chilled, pour using a strainer into a glass over ice.
  • Garnish with optional lime or orange slice or wedge, pineapple wedge, or maraschino cherry.

Notes

*If making a larger batch for gatherings, increase portions and combine in a large punch bowl then stir to combine. Add ice and refrigerate for an hour before serving into glasses with fresh ice.
**Make your punch in advance, if desired. Punch can be made up to 8 hours prior to a planned event, but do not leave punch mixed longer than that as the fruit juice will get off-flavored.
***If serving in a large punch bowl, small ice will melt quickly. Use tupperware to freeze larger chunks of ice to keep your punch adequately chilled.
