Rum Punch Cocktails are great all year long! With 4 kinds of rum, pineapple juice, and grenadine, this easy cocktail recipe packs a PUNCH! I’m showing you how to make a single drink OR a party punch! If you’re looking for a party punch that will take you to the beach, this is it!
I’d never had or made rum punch until a trip to Las Vegas a few years ago. I love rum in cocktails, but I’d never had this! The cocktail I had was a ginormous glass filled with 4 kinds of rum, pineapple, and grenadine and I knew I wanted to recreate it. I made you a rum punch cocktail for one…or you can make an actual party punch.
This easy cocktail has 4 kinds of rum: it’s one of my favorite Captain Morgan Drinks with Malibu – and one of the best rum drinks out there!

What kind of rum goes in rum punch?
That’s right, 4 kinds of rum! You can easily substitute other flavors or do double duty with one if you don’t have all 4.
- White Rum
- Spiced or Caribbean Rum
- Coconut Rum (Malibu)
- Flavored rum (pineapple, mango, etc.)
- Other than rum you need pineapple juice to make it smoother to taste and a little grenadine for color.
How to make Rum Punch
- You can make this drink in a single glass or in a pitcher as a punch.
- Rum: Use your favorite flavors and brands!
- Strength: You control the strength of this punch recipe. Add more or less pineapple juice to make it stronger or weaker.
- Club Soda: Want to weaken in and make it last longer without calories? Add some club soda to taste.
Expert Tips
- Ice waters down drinks – and we don’t want that. Freeze pineapple slices and/or cherries to use as the ice. Then it flavors the drink instead of watering it down (and those fruit bits taste fantastic too).
- You can skip the flavored rum, or use your favorite flavor, but be sure to include the coconut along with the spiced and white rum. The coconut gives great flavor – and I use it in lots of other cocktails like a Cake By The Ocean or Hawaiian Martinis.
