Flavored rums have hit the market in recent years, making island-style rum punches better than ever. This one contrasts fresh tropical-fruit flavors with zippy citrus and bitters for pure refreshment—with a kick, of course.

Ingredients

3 cups guava nectar
3 cups pineapple juice
1½ cups melon-flavored rum
¼ cup grenadine
¾ cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons Angostura bitters
Orange or lime slices
Watermelon chunks or balls
Maraschino cherries

Instructions

1. Combine guava nectar, pineapple juice, rum, grenadine, lime juice and bitters in a large pitcher. Chill. Just before serving, add orange or lime slices, watermelon and cherries to pitcher. Serve over ice. Serves 8.
