Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups Hawaiian Punch (Fruit Juicy Red flavor, chilled)
- 4 cups silver rum (or unflavored vodka, chilled)
- 3 cups 100% pineapple juice (chilled)
- 1½ cups pulp-free orange juice (not from concentrate, chilled)
- 3 cups ginger ale soda (chilled)
For Serving and Garnish
- 2 cups ice
- Navel orange slices (⅛-¼ inch thick)
- Lime slices (⅛-¼ inch thick)
- Strawberry slices (¼ inch thick)
- Pineapple chunks (1-inch size)
- Maraschino cherries (juices drained)
Instructions
- Combine the liquids: In a 1½-gallon drink dispenser fitted with a spigot, pour in the chilled Hawaiian Punch, silver rum (or vodka), pineapple juice, pulp-free orange juice, and ginger ale. Gently stir the mixture to combine all ingredients without overmixing, ensuring the ginger ale retains its carbonation for a fizzy punch.
- Add ice and garnishes before serving: Just prior to serving, add 2 cups of ice into the dispenser along with the fresh fruit slices and chunks—navel orange, lime, strawberry, pineapple, and maraschino cherries. This keeps the punch chilled without diluting it prematurely and keeps the fruit fresh and vibrant.
Notes
- To maintain fizz, stir gently and add ginger ale last.
- Add ice and fruit garnishes only right before serving to prevent dilution and sogginess.
- Can be prepared a few hours ahead but refrigerate without ice and ginger ale until serving.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum or vodka and add extra ginger ale or sparkling water.
- Adjust alcohol content based on preference and guest tolerance.
