Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh pineapple juice – Brings natural sweetness and a tropical base flavor.
- 2 cups mango juice – Adds a rich, smooth, and fruity depth to balance the pineapple.
- 1 cup coconut rum – Gives a creamy, island-style kick that makes the punch truly tropical.
- 1/4 cup lime juice – Adds brightness and a touch of tanginess to keep the drink refreshing.
- 1 cup club soda (or lemon-lime soda) – Provides the fizzy sparkle that makes it extra refreshing.

How to Make Pineapple Rum Punch with Mang
- Mix the Base:
In a large pitcher, pour in the pineapple juice, mango juice, coconut rum, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Stir everything together until the flavors are fully combined. - Chill the Mixture:
Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the punch to cool down and the flavors to blend more smoothly. - Prepare the Glasses:
Fill each serving glass with plenty of ice to keep the drink cold and refreshing from the first sip to the last. - Add the Sparkle:
Just before serving, pour the chilled punch over the ice, leaving a little space at the top. Then, top each glass with club soda (or lemon-lime soda if you prefer a sweeter taste). This gives the drink its light fizz. - Garnish & Serve:
Finish with a slice of fresh pineapple on the rim and a sprig of mint for a tropical look. Serve immediately and enjoy your Pineapple Mango Rum Punch!
Variations
Want to put your own twist on this cocktail? Here are a few easy ways to change it up:
- No Mango: If mango isn’t your favorite, just use only pineapple juice instead of mixing it with mango. You’ll still get a deliciously tropical punch.
- Extra Pineapple: Love pineapple? Replace the orange juice with more pineapple juice for an even stronger pineapple flavor.
- Sweeter Finish: Swap club soda for lemon-lime soda if you want a sweeter and more playful version.
- Less Alcohol: Cut the rum in half and add more fruit juice for a lighter, fruitier drink.
Equipment Needed
You don’t need much to make this recipe—just a few basic kitchen tools:
- Liquid measuring cup – To measure out the juices and rum accurately.
