There is simply nothing more refreshing during the hot summer months than an ice cold, tasty beverage. When temperatures start to rise, I start dreaming of cold drinks that will help me through the hot summer days. I particularly like preparing beverages that can be made once and served to both kids and adults. Something a lot like this punch.

Practically Perfect Pineapple Punch.

I made up this refreshing treat for Reece’s birthday party this weekend. It was 107 degrees. Hot people. Very hot. I knew that we were going to need lots of drinks to keep everyone cool during the party and this punch fit the bill perfectly.

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

Sweet and cold and just so refreshing – it was the perfect punch to serve on a hot summer’s day.

Kids and adults alike were gulping this punch down – it’s just that good! I think the flavor is a little bit surprising and absolutely wonderful. The base of the tea is Dole pineapple juice and Mighty Leaf Tea. Basically, you make a lemon-flavored simple syrup, brew the tea, and add the pineapple juice. Mix it up, chill, and serve over ice.

Now if you are serving this to adults…rum. A shot of rum turns this fantastically refreshing punch into an out of this world cocktail that everyone will love. I know I did!

    All the flavors sound really good! Especially with our climate ! Where can I find this brand in Corpus Christi ? I would like to try the Vanilla Bean first to replicate your recipe, then try the add’l flavors in the recipe. Thank you for the recipe !

    Hi Trish!
    Thanks for the recipe! I was wondering, if I wanted to go ahead and spike the entire recipe, how many servings does the recipe make? Then I could figure out how many ounces of rum to add!

    Hi, This recipe sounds really really good and since I live in FL. it would be great 3/4 of the year. When you talked about adding the rum for the adults, it made me think of a drink I used to get when I went “bar hopping” with friends many years ago. It was called Malibu & Pineapple, Malibu Rum is a coconut flavored rum and when you mixed it with pineapple juice it was sooooo good. I didn’t drink a lot, but I could get one of these and just sip on it for quite a while and feel refreshed.
