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.

Oh, FT, you've done it again. I don't think there's been a recipe of yours I haven't given 5 stars. I really must peruse your cookbooks more. I love this punch. Sweet, but not overpoweringly so, plenty of fruit flavor, and the ginger ale gives such a nice little kick of spice to the mix. I made the juice mixture, and put it in a pitcher, to allow for us all to adjust the amount of rum and ginger ale to personal preference, and so it wouldn't go flat if we didn't drink it all. But, next time I have a party, I think I'll make the full punchbowl, because I don't think there's much danger of leftovers.

Wow! French Tart, this is a wonderful rum punch. I enjoyed all the different flavours in this pretty drink, it was perfectly balanced for me. I used all fresh squeezed juices, for the fresh orange juice I did used the rest of my blood oranges, it gave the drink a pretty pink color. My only disappointment was that I couldn't find any tiny plastic monkeys, but I will keep looking. This is a winner, one which I will be sharing often with family and friends this summer. Thank you so much for sharing mon ami.
