As a bartender, I love drinks that deliver an instant escape. This recipe was born from one of those slow, sultry days behind the bar when a guest asked for “something fruity, fun, but not too sweet.” The result was this tropical twist that’s now one of my favorites.
Sometimes, all it takes is one sip to transport you to paradise—and this Pineapple Mango Rum Punch does exactly that. Inspired by sunny afternoons and beachside lounging, this cocktail balances sweet fruit juices with smooth golden rum for a flavor that’s as bold as it is balanced.
Whether you’re hosting friends or winding down after a long day, this rum punch sets the perfect tone. You can even batch it for a group—it’s that versatile. Trust me, you’ll be coming back to this one all summer long.
