Citrus Rum Punch is a bright combination of four citrus juices mixed with two kinds of rums. Grab some friends and have a party!
This punch combines orange juice, grapefruit juice, lemonade, and limeade with two types of rum.
Fresh squeezed juices taste best! I highly recommend making lemonade and limeade from scratch. However, if that is not an option, seek high quality lemonade and limeade.
This rum punch uses a combination of silver rum and spiced rum.
INGREDIENT INTEL: Rum 101
Silver rum is also called “white rum” or “light rum.” It is rum with a very light color (or no color) that is usually unaged or aged for a year or less in steel tanks.
- Commonly used in mojito and daiquiri.
Spiced rum is simply a rum that has been flavored in some way. It can be infused with a single botanical or a mixture of spices.
- Commonly used in eggnog, tiki cocktails, and hot buttered rum

Ginger Simple Syrup
This citrus rum punch isn’t very sweet.You may adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more ginger simple syrup.
Ginger simple syrup is made by mixing together water, sugar, and fresh ginger. This liquid sweetener is great for iced teas or coffee. It will kept in the fridge for up to a month.
It’s a super easy, large batch cocktail punch that can be prepared ahead of time.
Similar to a tiki cocktail, this drink is deceptively strong. The tangy citrus juices mask any alcohol taste, making this drink very easy to chug.
To reduce the potency of this cocktail, you can add a splash of sparkling water or club soda with each serving.
Cheers!

This is a tasty drink! Might be a new summertime favorite for me :)
First of all – I am so jealous that you can eat all of the food you describe and stay slim:) I think I will need one of your citrus rum drinks to collect myself. And will totally skip the step of diluting it with sparkling water.
Glad you enjoyed yourself! Looking forward to more beautiful food soon!
Thank you so much!
