Caribbean Rum Punch Variations
I like to try and give variations on the cocktails shared on The Purple Pumpkin Blog, like how to turn the cocktail into a mocktail so that non-drinkers (and kids if suitable) can enjoy the drink too!
Virgin Caribbean Punch Mocktail (Non-Alcoholic)
So that non-drinkers can enjoy a glass of Caribbean Punch we simply remove the alcohol and replace it!
Stir the following ingredients together in a pitcher, pour into ice-filled glasses, and garnish as desired. Makes 4 drinks.
- 12 oz Pineapple Juice
- 8 oz Sweet and Sour Mix
- 4 oz Orange Juice
- 4 oz Coconut Water (or Coconut Syrup)
- 4 oz Spiced Brown Sugar Syrup
- 1 oz Grenadine
I love the Monin brand of syrups as there are lots of flavors and they are a very versatile ingredient that can be used in cocktails, mocktails, coffee, cocoa, shakes, smoothies, and more.
I haven’t made the mocktail version, so I recommend adding the syrups to taste as they may add a sweetness that you may not necessarily get from alcoholic liqueurs.
For adults who would still like to enjoy the taste of alcohol in their mocktail, you could try non-alcoholic rum alternatives. In the UK, try Lyre’s, which is also available on Amazon in the UK and Amazon.com. There are other brands, but this one was more widely available.
- Instead of spiced rum use Lyre’s Spiced Cane Spirit
- Instead of white rum use Lyre’s White Cane Spirit
- Instead of coconut rum use Beckett’s Non-Alcoholic 27 Coconut Rum (US import) or you could use Coconut Syrup instead.
- Instead of triple sec use Lyre’s Orange Sec
Simply use the non-alcoholic alternatives instead of the alcoholic ones in the recipe card.
Frozen Caribbean Rum Punch
Want to turn this rum drink into a frozen slushie? Easy! Put all the ingredients in a blender with a generous amount of ice – then blend till smooth. Serve with a straw, and watch out for brain freeze! You could do the same with the mocktail version too.
Caribbean Rum Punch For a Crowd!
Want to make a big batch of rum punch for a party or gathering? It’s so easy!
As long as you use the same measuring container (glass, cup, jug, etc.,) for the “1 part”, the ratios will be correct and you can make as much as you need to.
To make a big batch of Caribbean Rum Punch, mix together (as the recipe card):
- 8 parts Pineapple Juice
- 8 parts Sweet and Sour Mix
- 4 parts Triple Sec
- 4 parts White Rum
- 4 parts Coconut Rum
- 4 parts Spiced Rum
- 1 part Grenadine
Serve the large batch cocktail in drinks dispensers, or pitchers, or go really retro and serve from a punch bowl! Whichever container best suits your event (and the drink!).
Make sure you add plenty of ice to your serving container of choice to keep the cocktail chilled. And you can add some fruit garnish in there too such as maraschino cherries, lemon or lime slices, pineapple chunks, and mint leaves.
Or why not skewer the fruit onto cocktail picks for guests to garnish their drink?
When setting up your bar serving area, you could include:
- Ice Bucket (filled with ice!)
- Cocktail Glasses
- Cocktail Napkins
- Cocktail Stirrers
- Tropical Cocktail Decorations
This cocktail recipe is intended for adults of the legal drinking age in your country of residence.
Please drink responsibly. Do not drink and drive.
