1/2 cup coconut rum (Malibu or similar)
1/4 cup peach schnapps
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 oz grenadine (for that classic sunset effect)

Instructions
Fill your beach bucket with ice, about halfway full.
In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup tropical fruit punch, 1/2 cup coconut rum, 1/4 cup peach schnapps, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, and 1/4 cup orange juice. Stir well.
Slowly pour the grenadine (1/2 oz) into the bucket over the ice to create the sunset gradient effect.
Add the fruit punch and rum mixture on top of the grenadine gently.
Top off with 1/4 cup lemon-lime soda for some fizz.
Garnish with your favorite gummy candies, fresh fruit slices, candy skewers, sour straws, and a cute paper umbrella or mini shovel straw.
Serve with colorful straws and enjoy your tropical beach bucket blast!
Notes
Use a clear or colorful beach bucket for the best presentation.
Adjust the amount of rum to make it stronger or lighter.
For a non-alcoholic version, skip the rum and schnapps and add more fruit punch and soda.
You can prepare the drink mixture in advance and add the soda and garnishes just before serving.
Feel free to get creative with your garnishes—try different candies or fresh fruits!
Keep extra ice on hand to keep the bucket cool during your party.
