  • 1 whole Lime - the fresh squeezed juice of 1 lime
  • 1 whole Orange - the fresh squeezed juice of 1 orange
  • 2¼ cup Dark Rum - I used The Kraken dark rum
  • 2 cups Passion Fruit Juice - I used Ceres passion fruit juice
  • 1¾ cup Pure Pineapple Juice - I used Dole pineapple juice
  • 2 cups Cranberry Juice - I used Langer's cranberry juice
  • 1½ cups Guava Juice - I used Goya Guava juice
  • 1 can Pineapple Slices - 1 8oz can Dole pineapple slices, juices and all
  • 2 oz Simple Syrup
  • 1 can Sparkling Water - such as La Croix sparkling water - 1 to 2 cans as desired to taste
  • Sliced Orange Wheels - for garnish
  • Sliced Lime Wheels - for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Open the can of sliced pineapple and pour into a medium to large punch bowl.
  • Using a citrus press, squeeze in the juice of one whole lemon, the juice of one whole lime, and the juice of one whole fresh orange.
  • Next, splash in the passion fruit juice, the pure pineapple juice, cranberry juice, guava juice, and simple syrup.
  • Give everything a gentle stir to combine and splash in the 2 and 1/4 cups of dark rum.
  • Top with 1 to 2 cans of sparkling water as desired and give one more gentle stir to combine.
  • To adjust sweetness, if needed, add more fresh lime or lemon juice. If on the dry or tart side, add more simple syrup by the tablespoon to taste, until desired balance is reached.
  • Finish by floating thin sliced wheels of fresh lemon, orange, and lime on top of the punch. Dot the floating fruit with slices of maraschino cherry.
  • To serve your festive Mardi Gras punch recipe with rum, fill punch cups individually with fresh ice and ladle in the punch. Top with fresh citrus slices and cherries. Serve very cold.
