Ingredients
Scale
Punch Base:
- 4 cups white grape juice
- 2 cups coconut water
- 1 cup light rum
- 1/2 cup white cranberry juice
Sweeteners and Flavors:
- 1/4 cup simple syrup
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
Garnish and Texture:
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 2 cups crushed ice
- 3 candy canes (crushed)
- 1 lime (sliced)
Instructions
- Chill a large pitcher or punch bowl in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to ensure a frosty serving vessel.
- In the chilled container, combine white grape juice, coconut water, light rum, and white cranberry juice, whisking gently to integrate the liquid components.
- Pour in simple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract, stirring methodically to distribute the sweeteners and aromatic flavors evenly throughout the punch.
- Fold in coconut cream, creating a silky, luxurious texture that will give the punch a rich, creamy consistency.
- Sprinkle shredded coconut into the mixture, allowing it to float and provide a subtle textural element.
- Add crushed ice to the punch, stirring carefully to cool and slightly dilute the beverage without over-watering.
- Crush candy canes into fine, sparkling fragments and rim the serving glasses with the peppermint dust for an festive decorative touch.
- Slice lime into delicate rounds, floating them on the punch’s surface for a hint of citrus brightness and visual appeal.
- Refrigerate the punch for 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and develop a harmonious taste profile.
- Ladle into chilled glasses, ensuring each serving includes a sprinkle of coconut, a candy cane rim, and a lime slice.
Notes
- Chill your serving vessel beforehand to keep the punch refreshingly cold without immediate ice dilution.
- Adjust rum quantity for lighter or stronger versions, catering to different preference levels and alcohol tolerances.
- Add extra coconut cream for a richer, more indulgent texture that transforms the punch into a dessert-like beverage.
- Create a kid-friendly mocktail by eliminating rum and replacing it with additional white grape or coconut water for a festive non-alcoholic option.
