Ingredients

Scale

2½ cups pineapple juice
1 cup orange juice
1 cup coconut cream or coconut rum
1 cup dark rum
1 cup orange liqueur (Grand Marnier or Triple Sec)
Ice, for serving

Garnishes: Pineapple chunks, grated nutmeg, cocktail umbrellas (optional but encouraged)

Instructions

In a large pitcher or shaker, combine the pineapple juice, orange juice, coconut cream (or coconut rum), dark rum, and orange liqueur.
Add a generous amount of ice and stir well to chill. If using a shaker, work in batches to ensure it’s cold and smooth.
Taste the punch. For more sweetness, add a splash of simple syrup or extra juice. For more kick, add a little extra rum.
Pour into glasses over fresh ice.
Garnish with a pineapple chunk, a dash of nutmeg, or a fun tiki umbrella to complete the tropical vibe.

Serve immediately and enjoy the island energy!

Notes

Make it a mocktail: Skip the alcohol and sub in coconut water or sparkling soda for a refreshing booze-free version.
Add your twist: Splash in lime juice, muddled strawberries, or passionfruit puree for a fresh flavor upgrade.
Prep ahead: Mix everything except ice up to a day in advance. Chill in the fridge and stir well before serving.
Storage: Keep leftovers in the fridge (without ice) for up to 3 days. Stir before serving—coconut cream may naturally separate.

Pair it with: Shrimp skewers, pulled pork sliders, pineapple salsa, or crispy fish tacos for the ultimate tropical feast!
