You’ll feel like you’re on a tropical vacation while sipping on this incredibly delicious Rum Punch… it’s fruity, refreshing, and so EASY to mix up!
If you love fruity rum cocktails and you’ve never made this punch before – now is the time! It can easily be made by the glass or by the pitcher to share with friends.
Rum Punch Ingredients
- Rum – I like to use a combination of coconut and dark rum. Light rum can be used in place of coconut.
- Fruit juices – Orange juice and pineapple juice are a must! You can substitute lemon juice if you don’t have lime juice.
- Grenadine – just a small amount is needed for color.
- Garnishes such as sliced orange, pineapple, maraschino cherries and cocktail umbrellas are totally optional, but add such a cheerful tropical presentation!
How to Make Rum Punch
- Pour dark rum, coconut rum, orange juice, pineapple juice and grenadine in a shaker with ice. Cover and shake vigorously .
- Strain into a hurricane glass filled with ice and garnish.
Number of Servings
This recipe makes 10 ½ ounces – enough for one large glass (be careful, it goes down easy!) or two small glasses.
To make by the pitcher (or more than one serving), simply toggle the “plus” button by the number of servings on the print screen… it will automatically calculate the amounts for you!
Cheers, enjoy and please drink responsibly!

Loved this recipe. Was a real big hit for our family reunion at the lake.
Hi there, I stumbled on this recipe and I would love to hear how to scale up to 50 people. Many thanks Dion
Hi Dion, you’ll first need to decide how many ounces per person, then multiply x 50 to come up with a total. This recipe uses “parts” so a “part” can be any measurement you want it to be. The total amount you want to make will determine how much of each ingredient you will need. Here is an article regarding how to measure parts. I hope you find it helpful!
Wow, just found this recipe while searching for something similar to one I have had at Front Street Grill over the bridge in Beaufort, NC. This is dangerously delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much, Allison – Glad to hear you enjoyed it… cheers! 🙂
Hello will have to try your recipe. I make mine with guava juice instead of orange juice and I love it.

Want to make this for my wife. For measurement is “1 part” a shot?
Hi Chris, the amount of a “part” can be anything you want it to be. This article explains in more detail. Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
Made this for a party and it took us back to Jamaica! On point! Tgank you for posting!
Thanks, Destiny! So happy you enjoyed it… cheers!
Can the orange juice be replaced with another juice? Looks delicious but my husband can’t drink orange juice.
Hi Lisa, I’ve never substituted for the orange juice so I can’t say for sure… possibly omit the OJ and add more pineapple (or cranberry juice)? Let me know how it turns out! 🙂
tried a rum punch in vegas at the mgm, and ive been looking everywhere for a similar recipe! yours looks the most similar and im really excited to try it tonight 🙂
Thanks so much, Mikaela… hope you enjoy it! 🙂
Hi Amy!
I was looking for a great rum punch recipe, and yours popped up. The drink I am trying to copy is from an Ocean City, Maryland restaurant called Nick Idoni’s, and it’s the Knockout Rum Punch. Your recipe looks alot like that drink in appearance, and I was hoping to find anyone who might know how Nick’s makes theirs. I will definitely try your recipe, and post a comment afterwards. Thanks, Amy!
Hi Cheryl, I’m not sure how that restaurant makes theirs as I’m based out of NC and have never dined there… but I hope you enjoy the rum punch! 🙂
Just got back from the Dominican Republic…fell in love with the rum punch there…yours is the only one comparable! Thank you!!
Wow, thanks so much Susan! Hope you had a great vacation! 🙂
Beautiful pictures and loved your post. Will be trying your punch soon. Cheers!
Thank you so much Diane! Cheers & have a great weekend!
