*While my wife & I were in St. Thomas, we drank alot of the rum punch. Can we get the receipe for this drink? We are going to the beach this weekend and would like to try to make this for our trip. Thank you. tim
Heres one.
Drink Ingredients
Pineapple Juice
Rum
Malibu Rum
Campari
Orange Juice
Directions
Mix it up varying the ingredients to taste. Balance the Orange and Pineapple, add a little Malibu rum till you can slightly taste the coconut, then enough Campari to redden it and then make up the rest with rum. A delicious and authentic island drink that will make you very drunk if you aren't careful
Heres another Rum Punch
1 cup fresh lime juice
2 cups simple syrup
3 cups amber rum
4 cups orange juice
4 dashes bitters
freshly grated nutmeg
Directions
1 In a pitcher, combine lime juice, simple syrup, rum and orange juice. Add a few dashes of bitters and some grated nutmeg to taste. Serve chilled over ice.
Here is a Jamiacan Rum Punch
4 Cups water
1 Cup lime or lemon juice
6 cloves or allspice berries
3 cups strawberry-flavored syrup
2 cups Jamaican white rum
Mix all ingredients together in a punch bowl, and let the mixture settle for 1 hour before removing the cloves or allspice. Stir and serve over ice cubes in old fashioned glasses. Water and rum maybe added to weaken or strengthen as needed.

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. 🙂
