Variations To Try!

  • You could try swapping out pineapple juice for orange or grapefruit juice to switch up the tropical flavor!
  • Exchange the cranberry juice in this recipe for my Cranberry Simple Syrup! I recommend using just 1oz of syrup to replace the 2oz of cranberry juice.
  • Try another flavor of Malibu rum, such as pineapple, mango, or passion fruit!

Can I Use Cranberry co*cktail Juice For This Recipe?

For this recipe, I used 100% cranberry juice to help balance the sweetness. If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, use cranberry co*cktail juice!

    What are the measurements for a large punch bowl?

    Reply

    • Rebecca Hubbell says

      Hi Thomas, that would depend on the size/volume of your bowl. Simply just multiply the ingredients to fit. Also note that by making it in a punch bowl you will not get the layered effect.
