Notes
- Simple syrup can be homemade by dissolving equal parts sugar and water over low heat, then cooling before use.
- Adjust the amount of rum according to preference for a lighter or stronger punch.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rums and add extra fruit juices or soda.
- Serve immediately after adding ice for best freshness if you don’t have time to chill.
- Garnishes not only add flavor but also make the punch visually appealing.
- Adding sparkling water or ginger ale is optional but adds a fun fizz to the drink.
