What Is Rum Punch?
So, I did a little research on the origin of rum punch. Apparently, the word “punch” comes from a Sanskrit word that means “five”, as the drinks were originally made with five ingredients; alcohol, sugar, lemon juice, water, and tea or spices.
The drink eventually made its way from England to the West Indies where it took on the more tropical notes that we know today. Native island fruits lent themselves perfectly to rum punch; their natural sweetness has always been a perfect match for most kinds of rum.
When it comes to making rum punch, keep this rhyme in mind: One of Sour, Two of Sweet, Three of Strong, Four of Weak.” This means punch is made with: one part lime juice, two parts sweetener, three parts rum, and four parts water. This doesn’t mean that we have to follow this rhyme exactly, but it does help to get a rough idea of how much of everything you’ll need. You can always adjust the amounts to your own tastes to make the drink stronger or weaker.

This recipe starts with pineapple juice and orange that I poured into a pitcher.
I then stir in lime juice, both light and dark rum, and grenadine.
You can alter the amounts of juice and alcohol to suit your tastes and as mentioned above, coconut rum would make this punch especially tropical as would a splash of coconut water. This recipe is quite adaptable.
Recipe Tips
Want to make a larger batch? Rum Punch can easily be doubled (or tripled) and placed in a punch bowl if you are going to be serving this to a crowd.
Make ahead instructions and tips. If you are going to make this in advance and for a crowd, freeze pineapple juice in ice cube trays and add this to your pitcher or your punch bowl to add flavor to your punch.
