"Wonderful tropical punch, great for any summertime get-together. Make it a cocktail by adding a shot of vodka or coconut rum to your serving! (cooking time does not include freezing or refrigeration time)"

10 stars!! I posted a similar recipe in 2002 that has been our go-to for about 16 years, but the differences are the key to why this recipe will now be our favorite. I so love the addition of maraschino cherries. I love that there is NO added sugar; just what comes naturally from the fruits. I love the color too. It's such a beautiful red/orange. DH didn't even mind that there were still tiny chunks of pineapple in it. He was home a little late last night for anything but dinner, so tonight we plan to try more of this with a shot of coconut rum for me & passion fruit rum for DH. :) Thanks for sharing, loof! Made & enjoyed for photo tag.

Yum Yum Yum. This is so good. A few of my friends opted to give it a go with the shot of rum added to the mix, and they loved it. Such a great drink to have on hand in your freezer to pull out whenever. Loved the chunks of pineapple in the mix too.

What a wonderful drink, so refreshing. Made four your 2010 Football Pool Playoffs. Can't wait to fix a huge batch of this in the summer months
