Sip Into Paradise with This Tropical Pineapple Mango Rum Punch Recipe

Learn how to make delicious Tropical Pineapple Mango Rum Punch. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups pineapple juice (fresh or 100% juice from the store)
  • 1 1/2 cups mango juice or mango nectar
  • 1 cup light rum (adjust according to preference)
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 3–4 limes)
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup (see note below for easy homemade version)
  • 1 cup sparkling water or club soda (adds a refreshing fizz)
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Fresh pineapple slices and mango chunks for garnish
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Substitutions and tips: If you don’t have mango juice, feel free to use more pineapple juice or even orange juice for a slightly different twist. For a non-alcoholic version, simply skip the rum and add an extra splash of sparkling water or ginger ale. I usually keep a small batch of simple syrup in my fridge—just equal parts sugar and water, heated until sugar dissolves—and it’s a lifesaver for quick drinks like this.

Instructions

  1. Start by chilling all your juices and sparkling water in the fridge. Cold ingredients make the punch taste fresher and keep it cool longer, which is a lifesaver when you’re serving outdoors.
  2. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the pineapple juice, mango juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Stir gently to blend the flavors.
  3. Add the light rum and simple syrup to the juice mixture. Give everything a good stir so the sweetness and alcohol meld together smoothly. I’ve found that stirring for about 30 seconds helps balance the flavors without overdoing it.
  4. Just before serving, add ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses to keep the punch nice and cool.
  5. Top off the punch with sparkling water or club soda for a refreshing fizz. This step is where the punch really comes alive—don’t skip it!
  6. Garnish with fresh pineapple slices, mango chunks, and if you like, a few mint leaves for that extra pop of color and aroma. I always sneak a little mint from my windowsill garden when I can—it makes the drink feel a bit fancier, even if the kitchen is a mess behind me.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy! If you need to keep it for a short time, cover and refrigerate, then add sparkling water and ice just before serving again.
