We love a punch and this coconut rum punch recipe is really delicious and will make you feel like you're on a tropical island, basking in the sunshine.
This easy punch recipe will definitely be a crowd pleaser at any picnic or Coronation parties you might be having. Plus, you can make this drink in advance so you're free to socialise and get on with other tasks on the day.
If you'd rather decrease the overall coconut flavour, use white rum instead of coconut and scale the recipe up or down as needed, depending on how many guests you're entertaining.
Step 1Strain the tinned pineapple juice into a large jug, reserving the slices for garnish. Add the tropical juice, coconut water and rum to the jug. Split the vanilla pods in 1/2 lengthways and stir into the jug. Cover and chill for at least 1hr (up to 24hr).
Step 2When ready to serve, divide the rum mixture between 8 tall glasses. Garnish with pineapple slices and the vanilla pods (cut into shorter lengths), if you like. Serve.
GET AHEAD
Prepare to end of step 1 up a day ahead. Chill. Keep pineapple slices in an airtight container in the fridge. Complete recipe to serve.
