St. Croix Mango Rum Punch

SweetPeaNC's Note:

We concocted this rum punch after returning from our honeymoon in St. Croix. We fell in love with Cruzan mango rum while there, so we returned toting several bottles of it. This punch tastes exactly like the punch served at the resort where we stayed.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 (12 ounce) can strawberry nectar
• 1 (12 ounce) can mango nectar
• 2 (6 ounce) cans pineapple juice
• 2 cups orange juice
• 1 dash grenadine
• maraschino cherry
• 1 1/2 ounces dark rum (1 shot)
• 1 1/2 ounces light rum (1 shot)
• 1 1/2 ounces coconut rum (1 shot)
• 1 1/2 ounces mango rum (1 shot)
• 3/4 ounce triple sec (1/2 shot)

Directions:

1. Mix the juices and nectars in a pitcher.
2. Stir in enough grenadine to make it a pretty salmon pink color.
3. Add two spoonfuls of the maraschino cherry juice and a few cherries.
4. Add the liquor.
5. Stir it thoroughly!
6. Taste the punch to check the strength. You may want to add more alcohol to make it a little stronger. If you do, try to keep the proportions of the liquors the same.
7. Just a note: Nectar is sold in individual cans. It's usually either with the juices or in the "ethnic food" section with the Latino items. I've used both Kerns and Jumex and they're both good.
8. If you don't have mango rum, substitute another 1/2 shot of triple sec (to make a whole shot) and another 1/2 shot of light rum. However, I recommend looking for the mango--that's what makes this punch a little unique. Check the airplane bottles--they might have it there if there are no bigger bottles. Both Cruzan and Captain Morgan make the flavor.

Dangerously good. You really do feel like you have been transported to a tropical beach. Thanks for posting. Made for PRMR.

This is a dreamy, decadent and potent beverage, but so enjoyable! I can't wait to enjoy it on a beach somewhere! :) I made as directed, halving the recipe for 3 drinks (or 2 really big ones!) This made me feel like I had my toes in the sand, which is a wonderful transporter! I may substitute this for 'my' rum punch, which is saying something! Thanks so much for sharing, SweetPeaNC!

I was throwing a party and decided to make some Rum Punch for everyone. I didn't have a recipe for it, but found this one on here and decided to give it a try. This is the best Rum Punch I have EVER tried. The punch was a major hit at the party, everyone loved it. I've made it many times since. This is a classic punch that you could serve to anyone, 21 or over ofcourse.
