A quick and easy tropical summer drink combining pineapple and mango juices with light rum and soda water for a refreshing punch that’s perfect for gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) pineapple juice (freshly pressed or high-quality canned)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) mango juice (100% juice, no added sugar)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) light rum (e.g., Bacardi)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 cup (240 ml) soda water or sparkling water
  • 12 tablespoons (1530 ml) simple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • Ice cubes (large cubes preferred)
  • Fresh pineapple chunks (for garnish)
  • Mango slices (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Chill pineapple juice, mango juice, rum, and soda water in the fridge for at least an hour before mixing.
  2. Roll limes on the counter and juice to extract about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of fresh lime juice; set aside.
  3. In a large pitcher, combine pineapple juice, mango juice, light rum, and fresh lime juice. Stir gently to mix.
  4. Taste and add 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) simple syrup if additional sweetness is desired; stir gently.
  5. Just before serving, add soda water and stir gently to preserve the bubbles.
  6. Fill glasses with large ice cubes and garnish with pineapple chunks and mango slices.
  7. Pour the punch over ice and serve immediately. For make-ahead, keep the juice and rum mixture refrigerated and add soda water just before serving.

Notes

Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Chill all ingredients before mixing to keep punch crisp without dilution. Use large ice cubes to prevent fast melting. Stir gently when adding soda water to preserve fizz. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup as needed. For a thicker texture, blend frozen mango chunks with juices before adding rum and soda. Non-alcoholic version: omit rum and add extra juice or coconut water.
