It�s sweet, citrusy and with a slight acidic edge from that addition of lime juice � like a big glass of grown-up fruit punch. I prefer using dark rum in this recipe for both flavor and authenticity � but full disclosure, my favorite dark rum is from Bermuda so I guess I didn�t go that authentic.
This Jamaican rum punch recipe is so smooth and well formulated that it is easy to forget (or not notice) that this is a strong drink!
To try to avoid overindulging, fill your glass with ice so that your portions are smaller, and be sure to have a glass of water (or just plain juice) in between glasses of this fruity rum punch. (They are honestly so smooth that I�ve had friends question if I forgot to put alcohol in their glasses! So give each drink time to �set in� and let you feel the effects before you pour another� because they will catch up with you if you�re not careful!)

You�ll Need:
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 2 cups orange juice
- 1 1/2 cups dark rum
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons grenadine syrup
- Citrus slices, garnish
- Maraschino cherries, garnish
Instructions:
- In a large pitcher, mix the pineapple, orange and lime juices. Add the rum and set aside.
- For each individual serving glass, pour in one tablespoon of grenadine syrup (or simply the syrup from the maraschino cherry jar). Fill the glass with ice.
- Prepare your garnishes beforehand by skewering citrus slices and cherries for a cute, tropical garnish and also to let guests know what flavors they will taste in their drink. (You can use toothpicks or skewer on a strong straw - or just slice into the orange and lime so that you can place on the edge of the serving glasses.)
- When ready to enjoy, pour the rum punch into each glass to allow for a sunset effect. The drink will be red and the bottom and gradually fade to orange at the top.
- Garnish and serve.
