What Ingredients Are Needed To Make A Bacardi Rum Punch?

Bacardi Rum “White Label” The alcohol base for this cocktail.

Fresh mango puree — The ripper the mango, the better. If needed, substitute with frozen mango.

Pineapple juice — One of the main tropical flavors. Use homemade pineapple juice for the best result. Substitute with bottled pineapple juice.

Fresh lime juice — Only use freshly squeezed lime juice to really get the citrus freshness and aroma that’s needed in this cocktail.

Coconut water For a salty coconut flavor kick. Opt for the water from coconut or bottled coconut water.

Angostura bitters An essential in cocktail making. It’s a concentrated bitter mix made of herbs and spices that has a bright orange color. Do not worry if you don’t have it, but investing in a bottle of Angostura is a good thing to have in your cocktail cabinet. You are going to use only a few drops per cocktail like with a Coffee Old Fashioned so it will last you ages.

Optional: Coconut flavored rum — Add a splash of a coconut flavored rum like Malibu to amp the coconut taste.

Garnish: Lime wheel, triangle of coconut flesh (only the white part), and a few pineapple leaves

Crushed ice  Opt for mid-size crushed ice. Small ice cubes eventually water down the cocktail too quickly.

Knife and cutting board — To cut the fruits and garnishes.

Big balloon glasses  Almost any glass for a rum punch works. Just make sure to use one big enough to hold plenty of ice. Hurricane glasses or Tom Collins glasses or other optional tall glasses.

Notes

This cocktail is best consumed right after being made. If you want to make this cocktail for a group of friends instead of ice in the punch bowl use frozen mango slices and pineapple juice ice cubes. So it will not be watered down and for a touch of color as well.

  • Peel and cut the mango and blend it into a smooth puree. Set aside.
  • Juice the lime and set it aside.

  • Close the cocktail shaker and shake for a minute or so or until the cocktail shaker has cooled down.
  • Fill a balloon glass or the glass of your choice with ice until 3/4 of the glass.
  • Pour the cocktail on top of the ice.
  • Garnish the glass with a lime wheel,·coconut flesh (the white part) triangle and pineapple leaves. Put the wheel of lime and coconut triangle sitting at the brim of the glass and put the leaves inside the glass.

For the punch:

  • In a large bowl, add the Bacardi, coconut rum (optional), mango puree, pineapple juice, coconut water, lime juice, and Angostura bitters. Mix well.
  • Let it chill in the fridge for a couple of hours without any ice.
  • Prepare each glass with ice and top up right after drinking it.
