WHA???? Islander, Rum Punch MUST have Cruzan!!!!!! (Then anything else you want to put in...)

My rum punch contains a lot of rum, juices you like, that taste good together(usually orange, pineapple, maybe grapefruit and maybe cranberry, whatever you have that you may want to add! be creative, the only constant ingredient is rum!), if you want it a little red, throw in some Grenadine, sometimes to give it some pep, I use clup soda! Kinda helps with the burn from all that juice! Cruzan mixes the best! Doesn't matter the color, light or dark. (remember lots of rum!)

East Ender I thought that was a given!!

OK - correction wherever you see just RUM written it should be nothing else besides Cruzan Rum!!!!

🙂

Ronnie - I agree a bunch of fruit juices and rum - but figured I should give actual drink recipes. 🙂
