I made a batch for 8 for a poolside party with our dinner club. (I increased the ingredients times 12 for 8 tall glasses.) To camp it up, I added umbrella straws, flamingo swizzle sticks, fresh fruit kabobs laid across the top of each glass, as well as an orange slice hanging on the rim. Very colorful, fun, and refreshing!

The grapefruit juice stood out for me. I don't know what Hawaiian Punch or a Mr Freeze taste like but I still enjoyed this drink. I made as directed and I could not taste the rum which is good as I'm still not use to rum yet. Made during * Zaar World Tour 5* 2009 game for team *Genies of Gourmet*

This tastes like a not too sweet version of Hawaiian Punch to me. It has a Very tropical fruity flavor with a pretty blue color. I used the marashino juice. Thank you for being a dear PAC Host and thank you for this special coctail.

I'm really sorry but my BF didn't like this drink. He says it tastes like a Mr. Freeze. And I tasted it, and I didn't like also. I used grenadine instead of marashino juice, I don't know if it makes a difference. And I did exactly the same for all the other ingredients.
