    • Bacardi rum is delicious in this rum runner. It is also an affordable rum that is available at most grocery and liquor stores.
    • You can use light rum, dark rum or spiced rum. Feel free to mix and match. The balance of the different juices makes all varieties amazing.

    Ingredients for Bacardi rum punch

    • Rum: You can use any brand of rum for this rum punch. I enjoy Bacardi Superior, Bacardi Gold, Bacardi Black or Bacardi Spiced Rum. You can use just one type of rum (light, dark or spiced) or you can combine them.
    • Pineapple juice: Fresh or store bought.
    • Orange juice: Fresh or store bought.
    • Cranberry juice: Fresh or store bought.
    • Grenadine: Grenadine provides a sweet component to this rum punch, along with a beautiful red color. If you don’t have grenadine, you can also use Demerara Syrup.
    • Lime Juice: I recommend fresh squeezed lime juice. You can also use Rose’s lime juice (this is a little sweeter).
    • Garnish: Orange slice and cherry (maraschino, Luxardo or amarena). You can also garnish with these delicious homemade Bourbon Cherries!
