This is the same recipe that is in my bartender's guide book, and it's our favorite version of this drink. Very summery and refreshing!

This is the Original that Recipe that I grew up on...For all my friends BBQ's I serve it in a watermelon with the watermelonballs, cantaloupe and honeydew melon balls...Sometimes I add some coconut rum eyeball maybe 1 cup or so and a just a splash or so of Grenadine also for a little more sweetness...I usually make a lot and keep it in a milk gallon container and keep refilling it... Soak some not all of the fruit in some the night before, that is usually when I cut and sccope out the watermelon...You can make it as easy/pretty as you wish depending on where you are going...I do use this as punch with the fruit in the punch bowl as well....Have Fun!!!! Thanks Great Original Recipe

This is also good with lemon vodka. As others have said, a nice balance of spirits and fruitiness.

Fruity and refreshing, not too sweet. perfect balance of alcohol to mixer. I think pineapple juice and cran-raspberry work best!

Its a great drink, Tia Maria or Kaluha. I use Tia Maria, Tortuga Ponche (Grand Caymens) for the cream, (still great with Cruzon rum cream) and add 1/2 shot of 1 Barrel rum from Belize. Actually "Bounty" rum from St Lucia is a special ingredient on the island. Splash of Capt Morgan works great too if you forget it get it on your last cruise. And Albertsons Strawberry Syrup to make it truly gourmet . You need to make this at least once. Highly recommend.

I use pineapple juice instead of orange juice and use cran-raspberry juice. Makes a great punch. Make a gallon at a time and freeze one gallon to use as "ice"

I make this all the time. I love it. Try this with a bit of pineapple juice. If you are adventurous, add a bit of crushed pineapple. I do this when making pitchers for parties. If you keep your alcohol in the freezer (it generally won't freeze, depending on the purity), ice is not required, and keeps the drink from becoming watery. For an interesting variation: Omit the pineapple juice, and try a bit of banana liquer. Interesting taste.
