OK....I made this recipe a few weeks back for a function we hosted at our home, 100+ people. I had quadrupled the recipe and placed it in the refrigerator until I was ready to serve it. I used it in my fountain bowl and it turned out wonderfully delish!!! Guests were able to fill their cups easily. I did sub out the rum and used parrot bay coconut rum; and instead of using the fresh squeezed juices; I subbed them out with orange and lime juice concentrates. It was just easier for me. All in all, the recipe was a hit!! I froze the left over base and will use it for later. Thanks for sharing!!!

I tried this while testing rum puches for a party. This was a nice fruity punch, but was just a little too sweet for what I was looking for.
