Are you guys done with your holiday shopping? My husband and I are going for ONE last round of shopping this morning like the weirdos that we are. I mean, seriously. At a certain point you just have the pull the plug on operation Buy All The Things, but we just can’t quit Christmas shopping. This year, I feel like I deserve a gold medal because it is not midnight on Christmas Eve and most of our gifts are wrapped . . . of course if we buy more this morning . . . no, never mind. I’m going to stick with me deserving a gold medal. Or if not a gold medal, then at least a glass of this Pina Colada Rum Punch. It’s only four ingredients, guys. It’s like BEGGING you to make it for New Year’s Eve. Or Christmas Eve Eve. Whatever.
HOW TO MAKE PINA COLADA RUM PUNCH
This is a spin, and I use spin realllllly loosely here because basically it’s just about the same, on my Pina Colada Sangria – the cocktail that won’t quit. The first cocktail to go viral for me. I love that this is different though. Swapping out the Moscato for Champagne definitely changes the flavor of it. It makes it less sweet and I feel like it makes it more festive. You know, because bubbles. Plus I added maraschino cherries.
VARIATIONS ON PINA COLADA RUM PUNCH
This punch recipe literally takes about five minutes to throw together, so I’m not sure that I can really give you any tips for this recipe, but I do think I can give you some ideas.
If you want a sweeter drink, get a bubbly Moscato. It will be very sweet. If you want to stretch the drink and make it less strong (but WHY I ask, WHY???) you could top off glasses with a white soda like Sprite or 7UP or even just some coconut flavored sparkling water. Because this is such an easy cocktail to throw together, if you are going to a party bring all the ingredients for a second batch, but don’t make it until you are ready. Because bubbles.
