Ingredients
1 cup light rum
1 cup coconut rum
¾ cup lime cream liqueur (e.g., key lime liqueur)
2 cups pineapple juice
1½ cups piña colada mix (premade or homemade)
¼ cup fresh lime juice
1 cup cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez)
4 cups ice (plus more for serving if needed)
Optional Garnishes:
Whipped cream (for topping the punch bowl and each serving)
Lime slices (inside the bowl or on each glass)
Mini cocktail umbrellas
Sour candy skewers or colorful gummy candies
Instructions
Chill your ingredients: Make sure all juices and liqueurs are well chilled before starting. This keeps the punch extra refreshing.
Mix the base: In a large punch bowl, combine light rum, coconut rum, lime cream liqueur, pineapple juice, piña colada mix, lime juice, and cream of coconut. Stir thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
Blend for slushiness (optional): For a frozen punch, blend half the mixture with ice and pour it back into the bowl. Repeat with the remaining mixture if desired.
Add ice: Stir in additional ice to keep the punch chilled while serving.
Decorate and top: Add a generous layer of whipped cream on top of the punch. Float lime slices in the bowl or place them around the rim.
Serve and garnish: Ladle into glasses and top each serving with whipped cream, a candy skewer, and a mini umbrella for a festive finish.
Notes
Want to make it non-alcoholic? Skip the rums and liqueur and use coconut water, limeade, and pineapple juice instead.
No lime cream liqueur? Mix a tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk with lime juice as a creative substitute.
Make ahead tip: Mix everything except the ice and garnishes up to a day in advance. Store chilled and add finishing touches just before serving.
