Recipe Notes for Rum Punches

  • Make Ahead: Mix it up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated. Stir in the Sprite just before serving for the best way to keep it fizzy.
  • Storage: Store leftover punch in the Sprite bottle with a tight lid in the refrigerator up to 1 day. Freeze in a zip top freezer bag up to 3 months.
  • Occasions: This easy adult punch works for any occasion like game day parties, cookouts, birthdays and weddings. The red color makes it great for Valentine’s Day, Thanksgiving punch or serve it as a Christmas punch.
  • Mocktail: If you would like a non alcoholic version, skip the alcohol and try our Fruit Punch or Holiday Party Punch recipes.
