Can you make a rum punch ahead of time?
This rum punch recipe is a make-ahead recipe I use whenever we are having a large group for a summer picnic or barbecue. Use the recipe below as your baseline and double or triple the ingredients as needed.
How do you serve rum punch?
You'll need a large container for storage and room enough in your refrigerator to keep it cool. My favorite way to serve the rum punch is in these pretty glass pitchers or a beverage dispenser for self-serve convenience.
I like to use multiple beverage dispensers and include plenty of water and non-alcoholic beverages in them, too. Clear glass is always my favorite choice so the contents can easily be seen, especially when they are colorful like this rum punch.

Clear glassware is best for serving rum punch, too. Part of the fun of rum punch cocktails is the color. You'll want to be able to enjoy the whole experience so choose clear glassware. Opt for clear plastic beverage cups over colored ones when serving at a picnic or barbecue.

Made this punch but it didn't come out the beautiful color that you have shown. Don't know what happened.
ReplyDeleteHi. Hmmm..... My only suggestion is to check your measurements. We make this punch all the time with very consistent results. We usually use the products shown. If you are substituting other brands your results might differ.
DeleteI want to make this for a wedding for 100 people. How many bottles of rum do you think I'll need?
ReplyDeleteYou’ll need to do some math to figure this out. For one drink you’ll use 2 ounces of dark rum and one ounce of regular rum. For 100 people, each having one drink you’ll need 200 ounces of dark rum and 100 ounces of regular rum. Convert the ounces to liters to determine the number of bottles. Everyone will not have a drink and some will have more than one, so you’ll need to adjust the total ounces by some factor. I’m not a caterer, so I can’t tell you what tha would be. A caterer or liquor store might be able to help.
