Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) coconut rum
- 2 cups (480 ml) pineapple juice
- 1 cup (240 ml) orange juice
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup
- 1 cup (240 ml) soda water or club soda
- 1 cup (about 150 grams) fresh pineapple chunks
- 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (optional)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Toast the coconut flakes (optional): Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add coconut flakes and toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Prepare fresh lime juice: Using a citrus juicer, squeeze the juice from fresh limes until you have about 1/4 cup (60 ml). Strain to remove seeds and pulp.
- Mix the base: In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup (240 ml) coconut rum, 2 cups (480 ml) pineapple juice, 1 cup (240 ml) orange juice, 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice, and 2 tablespoons simple syrup. Stir gently but thoroughly to blend all flavors.
- Add soda water: Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) soda water or club soda. Stir lightly to preserve the fizz.
- Add ice and garnishes: Fill the pitcher with ice cubes to chill the punch. Add fresh pineapple chunks and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on top.
- Serve immediately: Pour into glasses garnished with extra pineapple or a lime wedge if desired. Keep extra ice nearby to top off glasses as needed.
Notes
Toast coconut flakes carefully to avoid burning. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Add soda and ice just before serving to keep the punch fizzy and avoid dilution. Adjust simple syrup to taste depending on sweetness of pineapple juice. For a non-alcoholic version, omit rum and replace with extra pineapple juice or coconut water.
