Frequently Asked Questions

What can I substitute for light rum?
If you prefer a non-alcoholic option, you can replace light rum with more pineapple juice or a splash of coconut water for a tropical flavor. For a different taste, consider using a flavored sparkling water to maintain the punch's refreshing quality.
How can I make this recipe more festive?
