Instructions
To a 1½-gallon drink dispenser (with a spigot) add the Hawaiian Punch, silver rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and ginger ale. Gently stir to combine, being careful not to overmix to help maintain the carbonation of the ginger ale.
Add ice and optional fruit garnishes to the drink dispenser just before serving to prevent the party punch from getting diluted and the fruit to stay fresh for best results.
Store: Mix the Hawaiian Punch, rum (or vodka), pineapple juice, and orange juice up to 24 hours in advance. Keep in a sealed container in the fridge.
Reheat: Not needed, this drink is best served chilled.
Freeze: Freezing is not recommended, as carbonation and fresh fruit do not hold up well once thawed.
Make ahead: You can prepare the base juices and alcohol up to 24 hours in advance and keep it chilled. Add the ginger ale, ice, and fruit just before serving so the punch stays fizzy and fresh.
Tips:
To avoid dilution, add ice to individual glasses instead of the dispenser.
Garnish glasses with a slice of orange or maraschino cherry for a festive touch.
Halve the recipe for smaller gatherings and serve in a large pitcher.
Depending on your preference, balance the punch by swapping in different fruit juices (like cranberry for tartness or lemonade for brightness).
