This easy tropical rum punch recipe is delicious and simple to make. Fruity cocktails are a nice way to celebrate a beautiful day or evening.

Warmer days are ahead and this is a delicious punch recipe I like to call Ruby Reef Rum punch.

I made this today because it was a warm day and I was wanting to make a rum punch cocktail that was easy to put together.

Why You Will Love this Rum Punch Cocktail

The colorful cocktail is perfect for an al fresco dinner, summer parties or a summer luau party. This recipe can be doubled and made to serve in a punch bowl or festive beverage dispenser.

This recipe is made with two types of rum. This tropical cocktail has flavors of pineapple and grapefruit and looks like a sunset. This is one of those punch recipes that make me think of white sand beaches on a tropical vacation.

    I'd have to find a way to make mine virgin, which would certainly lose its appeal but it looks so refreshing! I love grenadine. (is that weird?)
