This was a HUGE hit at my Hawaiian-theme party! The only things I changed were using pineapple puree instead of crushed pineapple and coconut-flavored rum instead of regular rum. Luckily this recipe makes a LOT because it was very popular! Even my friends who don't drink had to have some of this tasty concoction.... It was so light on alcohol that no one was even slightly "tipsy" -- which worked well for my function. But if you want different results, you should add more than just 2 cups of rum.

This turned out great! I made it for a work function. Instead of ice cream I used frozen vanilla soy "ice cream" so it would be vegan friendly and a can light coconut milk because that's all the store had. I left a bottle of Malibu rum on the side so people had the option. Would make again for sure!

Excellent recipe - this was the first punch bowl to be emptied. Next time I'll add some pineapple rum too.

This is a 5 star recipe as is. I have also altered it by putting in the whole can of cream of coconut, &/or using coconut rum. The specific sizes don't really matter - If you only have a 15 ounce can of crushed pineapple it'll be fine. But, I have to say I love the pineapple chunks. We serve it with spoons and it is great to have the chunks in it. By the end of it it's melted and easy to drink despite the chunks. Straws wouldn't work but if you want a drinkable mix just leave out the crushed pineapple and maybe use pineapple rum. The recipe is very flexible that way.

Ooh la la, oh so good! This punch is so good! I followed the recipe as written and was very happy. I did use the crushed pineapple, but processed the heck out of it with my food processor after reading other reviews not being happy with the "chunks". It worked great while still adding a little bit of texture to the punch. This does make a ton, so be prepared with a big bowl or pitcher. Also, mine did not freeze to slushy consistency in 4 hours, it took much longer.

I used 7Up and used half of the bottle in the mixture and froze it and then I added the rest to the punch bowl before adding the frozen mixture. It was a hit for our luau!

This was delicious! Minor changes: I made mine with 15 oz (a whole can) of coconut milk and 3 cups coconut rum. I didn't use pineapple chunks, just pineapple juice. I only used half of a 2 liter of soda, too. It was great. I think it would be wonderful if you followed the recipe as is, too. I placed it in the freezer about 6 hours before our party in a very large mixing bowl WITHOUT a lid (when it was covered it didn't seem to be setting), then took it out and stirred it to smooth it out a bit. We had 5 adults at our game night and we finished the whole bowl! It was enough to have several tall drinks each. Thanks for the awesome recipe!!

This was a hit at our Halloween party. I did not blend the pineapple because the punch was "Poltergeist Puke", so the chunks worked nicely. I made it without rum and used both coconut milk and cream of coconut. Kids and adults loved it and repeatedly came back for more. It was not taken out of the freezer ahead of time, so I had to microwave it a little at a time, mash it with a knife and repeat until it was a thick slush. I then added the sprite. It was thick like a frozen daiquiri. YUM!

I made this for a ball wind up party. It was SO good. It was gone in 1/2 hour and everyone loved it!! The only thing was that it was so filling. Kind of left me feeling bloated. Tasted fantastic though.

I made this punch for a baby shower yesterday and everyone loved it! I omitted the rum and can of crushed pineapple. I just mixed everything together and served it that way...without freezing it. It was delicious and creamy. I will make this again.

This is really good. I made it for my daughter's graduation and had to make more just to have it around. So refreshing to just have a glass in the evening. I don't add the 7up until serving.

I made a regular and virgin pitcher for my son's graduation party. It was 90 degrees, so this was very refreshing. We used 3/4 of the 750ml Coconut Rum bottle. I did preblend the pineapple pieces in blender with the juice, and used coconut milk instead of cream. This was soooo good. Even my uncles who don't like froo-froo drinks, loved it. I added a little bit of rum flavoring to the virgin pitcher. Overall it was a big success. Thanks soo much for sharing this recipe!!

I had high hopes for this recipe because of all the great reviews but it is just too sweet and rich (and I love sweet things!). I made it in advance to test it before serving it at a party but I could barely drink a glass. Now, I have tons in the freezer I don't know what to do with.

The taste of this recipe is absolutely delicious. I wanted a slushy type of drink that you can scoop out and add pop to by the glass versus a pre-made punch so I didn't add the pop to the recipe. It did freeze fairly solid and was not scoopable. I also couldn't find cream of coconut so used a can of coconut milk as others suggested. I recommend using coconut rum such as Parrot Bay and increasing the rum to three or four cups instead of just two cups to help it not freeze so solid. I let my frozen mixture soften enough for me to scoop it out with an ice cream scoop and then I ran it through my blender in batches and returned it to the freezer. Definitely a keeper good for summer or winter.
