Ingredients
  

The Spirits
  • 1 cup coconut rum (e.g., Malibu), chilled
  • 0.5 cup white rum chilled
  • 0.5 cup peach schnapps chilled
  • 0.25 cup banana liqueur chilled
The Juices
  • 3 cups pineapple juice chilled
  • 3 cups cranberry juice cocktail chilled
  • 0.25 cup grenadine syrup for the bottom layer
Garnishes
  • 1 whole lemon sliced into wheels
  • 1 whole orange sliced into wheels
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries halved or whole
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar for rimming glasses
  • 8 cups ice cubes to fill pitcher and glasses

Equipment

  • Large Glass Pitcher
  • Mixing Bowl or Second Pitcher
  • Small shallow plate

Method
 

  1. Prepare your serving glasses by rubbing a lemon wedge around the rim of each glass, then dipping the rim into a shallow plate of sugar. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl or a separate pitcher, combine the coconut rum, white rum, peach schnapps, banana liqueur, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice. Stir well.
  3. Take your main clear glass serving pitcher and pour the grenadine directly into the bottom.
  4. Carefully pack the serving pitcher to the very top with ice cubes, layering in the fresh lemon slices, orange slices, and strawberries as you go.
  5. Slowly pour the mixed punch over the ice into the serving pitcher. Pouring slowly helps maintain the dark grenadine layer at the bottom for a beautiful ombre effect.
  6. Serve immediately by pouring into the prepared sugar-rimmed glasses filled with fresh ice.

Notes

To ensure your drink doesn't become watered down, make sure all your juices and alcohols are thoroughly chilled in the refrigerator before mixing. For a mocktail, omit the alcohol and use coconut water, peach nectar, and a splash of banana syrup.
