Pineapple Rum Punch Recipe

This Pineapple Rum Punch blends fresh pineapple puree with muddled lime and mint, combined with white rum or cachaça. The result is a creamy, vibrant tropical drink with balanced sweetness, citrus brightness, and aromatic mint notes. It’s refreshing and can be adjusted for stronger or lighter alcohol flavor depending on preference.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole pineapple fresh, peeled and cored
  • 1-2 tbsp sugar depending on how sweet your pineapple already is
  • 1 whole lime
  • 1/4 cup mint leaf add more or less depending on your taste, fresh
  • 1 cup white rum such as Brazilian cachaça rum

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the lime in 4 pieces, then, add them to a cup or cocktail shaker
  2. Add the mint leaves, and muddle well
  3. Add the rum*, or the cachaça, to the muddled minty-lime juice, stir and set this mixture aside**
  4. Meanwhile, peel, core then dice a whole fresh pineapple. Discard the skin and the core, then, add the pineapple chunks into a blender with the sugar and pure it. You'll blend this for a few minutes, until there are no chunks left, and you're left with a super creamy, foamy mixture. No need to add water or ice here. We basically want to make a pineapple cream!
  5. After that, add that creamy pineapple juice to a pitcher, or punch bowl, and top it with ice
  6. Remove and discard the limes from the shaker/cup. Then add the minty-lime booze mixture to the pineapple juice. I prefer my drink to be more pineapply, so I try to not add all the mint to the pitcher, to avoid the mint flavor from taking over. But, you can pour all the mint leaves in if you want, or just a few, or none at all. Up to you!
  7. Stir and serve!
Cheers! Or as we say it in Portuguese, Saúde!!

Notes

  • The recipe uses 1 cup of rum, but you can increase or decrease it to suit your preference.
  • Allow the lime and mint to infuse in the alcohol before combining with pineapple for enhanced flavor.
