What You Will Need:
Light Rum. Using light rum in this punch, like Bacardi Superior offers a clean and light flavor. It’s also a well-known rum and easy to find at any grocery or liquor store. The light rum adds a mild sweetness, but still providing a depth to this recipe.
Vodka. We’re using Smirnoff’s Red, White and Berry vodka which offers a clean and neutral base. The red, white and berry vodka adds a touch of fruitiness and a vibrant color.
Grand Marnier. If you want to add a hint of orange flavor to this game day punch, then reach for the Grand Marnier. It adds depth with its citrusy and cognac-infused notes.
Pineapple Juice. Blueberry Juice. Pineapple Juice offers a tropical sweetness, helping to balance the overall flavor profile. It also provides a refreshing and bright element to this punch recipe. The Blueberry Juice adds a layer of sweetness and vibrant color.
Grenadine. Grenadine is used in this recipe to help bring a vibrant red hue to this drink, as well as a slightly tart and sweet pomegranate flavor, which enhances the overall fruity profile.
