During the summer months, I love to make large batches of my favorite drinks for any and all gatherings and events. This is one of the crowd favorites. And it is so easy to make that I just had to share the recipe with all of you.

What you will need
For my rum punch I combine three fruits juices in equal parts: pineapple, orange and guava (called POG in Hawaii). These juices give the drink an amazing tropical flavor. Then I add a simple syrup, grenadine and rum. That's it. You can also skip the simple syrup if you like a not so sweet cocktail.
Make a garnish
I love making colorful garnishes for cocktails. For this one I used a slice of mango, a beautiful strawberry and a leaf from a pineapple crown. But really you can use anything. A cherry could easily replace the strawberry here, a slice of orange and a piece of pineapple would also be great. Play around, have some fun, but keep it bright and colorful!
