My Planter's Punch drink is fresh, fruity, and tastes like summer in a glass. We use fresh juice and high quality grenadine for the best flavor.

Planters punch cocktail in a glass mug with a straw, orange slice, and maraschino cherry.

I love easy tropical cocktails like pina coladas, rum punch, and blue Hawaiians. This Planter's Punch is another favorite. It's great for sipping at BBQs or on the beach. It comes together in minutes with zero bartending skills or fancy equipment!

Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips

ingredients including dark rum, an orange, pineapple juice, lemon, lime, and grenadine.

Orange Juice: We love freshly squeezed naval orange juice. Blood orange would be a yummy twist. You can also use bottled just be sure to get a pulp free variety for the smoothest drink.
Dark Rum: We like Planteray's Original Dark best. Myer's is also very good. Never used dark rum before? Ease into it with half dark and half light.
Lemon and Lime Juice: Use freshly squeezed for the best flavor. Bottled versions are not as flavorful and can be overly tart.
Pineapple Juice: Use 100% pineapple juice. Blends are often too sweet for this drink.
Grenadine: I like using a grenadine made with real pomegranate and without corn syrup. Liber and Co is my go to.
