Ingredients:
- 46 oz pineapple juice
- 2 cups cream of coconut
- 4 cups sparkling water
- Pineapple rings
- Maraschino cherries
- Ice cubes
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pitcher
Take a large pitcher – preferably a clear glass pitcher so guests can appreciate the beautiful colors of this punch. Add the 46 ounces of pineapple juice to the pitcher. Pineapple juice serves as the base of this punch, giving it a deliciously sweet and slightly tangy flavor. - Add the Cream of Coconut
Next, pour 2 cups of cream of coconut into the pineapple juice. Cream of coconut is thicker and sweeter than coconut milk, lending a rich, luxurious texture to the punch. Stir the mixture well to ensure the cream of coconut fully dissolves into the juice. This may take a minute or two of stirring, as the cream of coconut can sometimes be dense. - Incorporate the Sparkling Water
Slowly pour in 4 cups of sparkling water. This will create a light, bubbly effect, adding a refreshing effervescence to the punch. To retain the fizziness, stir the mixture very gently. Avoid over-stirring, as this can flatten the bubbles. - Add Ice Cubes
You can either add ice cubes directly into the pitcher or fill each glass with ice before serving. If you’re making the punch ahead of time, add the ice just before serving to avoid diluting the flavors. - Garnish with Pineapple Rings and Maraschino Cherries
To give your Pina Colada Punch a beautiful presentation, garnish each glass with a slice of pineapple and a maraschino cherry. You can place the pineapple ring on the rim of the glass and drop a cherry in the center for an eye-catching, tropical effect.
