HOT BUTTERED RUM PUNCH



Hot Buttered Rum Punch image

This sweet punch is chock full of fall spicy taste. An excellent option to hot spiced cider and a natural addition to Thanksgiving celebrations. Or do as I do and have cranberry sauce on hand after Thanksgiving to make a hot punch to sip while decorating the tree or watching a game with friends. An excellent hot drink for a Thermos® for tailgating as well. If hot isn't your thing, serve over ice cubes with a splash of lemon-lime soda. Given to me by a good friend, I've looked all over and haven't found one quite like it.

ST. CROIX MANGO RUM PUNCH



St. Croix Mango Rum Punch image

We concocted this rum punch after returning from our honeymoon in St. Croix. We fell in love with Cruzan mango rum while there, so we returned toting several bottles of it. This punch tastes exactly like the punch served at the resort where we stayed.

Provided by SweetPeaNC

Categories     Punch Beverage

Time 10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (12 ounce) can strawberry nectar
1 (12 ounce) can mango nectar
2 (6 ounce) cans pineapple juice
2 cups orange juice
1 dash grenadine
maraschino cherry
1 1/2 ounces dark rum (1 shot)
1 1/2 ounces light rum (1 shot)
1 1/2 ounces coconut rum (1 shot)
1 1/2 ounces mango rum (1 shot)
3/4 ounce triple sec (1/2 shot)

Steps:

  • Mix the juices and nectars in a pitcher.
  • Stir in enough grenadine to make it a pretty salmon pink color.
  • Add two spoonfuls of the maraschino cherry juice and a few cherries.
  • Add the liquor.
  • Stir it thoroughly!
  • Taste the punch to check the strength. You may want to add more alcohol to make it a little stronger. If you do, try to keep the proportions of the liquors the same.
  • Just a note: Nectar is sold in individual cans. It's usually either with the juices or in the "ethnic food" section with the Latino items. I've used both Kerns and Jumex and they're both good.
  • If you don't have mango rum, substitute another 1/2 shot of triple sec (to make a whole shot) and another 1/2 shot of light rum. However, I recommend looking for the mango--that's what makes this punch a little unique. Check the airplane bottles--they might have it there if there are no bigger bottles. Both Cruzan and Captain Morgan make the flavor.
