This was easy enough to make and people really liked it. I used vanilla banana rum since I had this on hand along with banana liquer. I don't really like sweet drinks but as I said, others seemed to enjoy it. Personally, I think you could go a bit heavier with the rum to make it a more potent punch.

THE BEST! Everyone raved about it...there was none left by the end of the party! I followed others suggestions and used club soda in place of the water for the concentrated juice, it was excellent. My grocery store didn't have concentrated pineapple juice, so I skipped it and did just the OJ instead. I did add a small pineapple/banana juice that I got from the fruits and veggie section of my store. I also used Malibu coconut rum and added some maraschino cherries with the juice.

I followed others advice and left out the banana liqueur, used half coconut rum, have dark rum and instead of granadine, used a splash of triple sec. I made four batches for my bunco group (12 women) and it disappeared. Everyone was feeling very happy at the end of the night. This one goes down easy, and then woosh....your gone!

This punch was a definite hit at Thanksgiving dinner. I followed another member's suggestion and used club soda instead of water and half regular rum and half coconut rum. I doubled the recipe and it was gone quickly! From now on, I will quadruple.

Made this for our Halloween Bunko party and had to make 4 servings!! It was a HUGE HIT!! No body could even tell it was spiked! We did take other reader comments, and forgo the Banana Liquour and Grenidene. We used Club Soda for the first two batches instead of water, and water for the second two batches (cause I ran out of club soda) and it was MUCH MUCH better with club soda. WE used Captian Morgan's SPice Rum and the Malibu Coconut Rum instead of just rum. I ran out of the Coconut Rum, and we used some Jamaican Appleton Rum, and it was yummy too. If you have a Medium sized punch bowl, you could easily make two batches at the same time. I added Eyeballs, and festive ice cubes and even when the ice cubes were in, it still tasted YUMMY! It wasn't too sweet at all! Thing is, I don't think you can screw this up!!

FANTASTIC! Everyone at my pirate themed party loved this punch and we had to go to the store to make more!!!! I bought the wrong sized frozen concentrate, 12oz instead of 6oz so I doubled the recipe but I'm really glad I did because we drank this up very quickly. From reading previous comments, I added both regular spiced Rum (Captain Morgan) and coconut Rum (Malibu), skipped the banana liqueur, and mixed the juices together with lemon-lime soda instead of water. Even my friends that aren't big fans of alcohol loved this recipe!

This was such a hit! So yummy and it really sneaks up on you. I had trouble finding the right concentrate juices in the store, so I went over to the juice aisle and bought Simply Orange with pineapple (bottled). I mixed that with some Sprite and coconut rum (a must!). I didn't do any measuring; I just poured a little of this and a little of that and kept taste testing. The sliced fruit floating on top made it look so pretty. I'll definitely make this again and be sure to make more this time!!
