A week from tomorrow, Jeff and I are headed out on an eight-day cruise! I’m so excited to\u00a0get away for a week and just relax without being so tied to my computer (although I’m totally bringing it – I’m not that crazy).<\/p>\n

And to kick off our upcoming vacation and celebrate the fact that tomorrow is World Cocktail Day (!!!), I partnered with Carnival Cruise Line<\/a>\u00a0to share a cocktail recipe inspired by our upcoming travels.\u00a0It’s a Pineapple Mango Rum Punch and it’s kind of my new favorite cocktail.\u00a0So good! Click through for the recipe and a few deets on our upcoming trip.<\/p>\n

We’re headed to the Southern Caribbean with Carnival on the 20th and this rum punch seemed pretty appropriate for the occasion. Maybe they’ll have something like this on the Carnival Vista<\/a>? Or at one of the beaches we’re headed to\u2026.<\/p>\n

We’re hitting up Aruba<\/a>, Dominican Republic<\/a>, Curacao<\/a>, and Turks & Caicos<\/a> on this trip and I cannot wait. Super pumped about Curacao and Aruba especially.\u00a0I swear, no matter how many times I go to the Caribbean, I always feel like I could go again. I<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>really do love tropical vacations more than any other.<\/em><\/p>\n

That said,\u00a0I recognize that not everyone is about to head out on a tropical vacation. BUT you can at least feel like you are with this rum punch recipe. It’s a little bit sweet, but not too sweet. And super fresh tasting too –\u00a0like it is straight out of a Caribbean\u00a0pressed juice bar, that has been known to spike a drink or two. Now, that’s a place I want to visit. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Here’s the recipe for Pineapple Mango Rum Punch…<\/p>\n

\"Pineapple<\/p>\n

Ingredients for Pineapple Mango Rum Punch (servings 1 cocktail)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 3 oz of pineapple coconut juice
\n\u2022 3 oz of coconut rum (you can also use light or dark rum here instead)
\n\u2022 1 oz of mango juice
\n\u2022 1 oz of orange juice
\n\u2022 splash of grenadine (mainly just for looks)
\n\u2022 lime slices and\/or orange zest for garnish
\n\u2022 edible flowers for garnish<\/p>\n

Note for making larger batches:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>If making a punch, rather than a single drink, treat the ounce numbers above as parts instead. So, for example, if you’re making a large batch of pineapple mango rum punch, you’d use 3 parts pineapple coconut juice, 3 parts coconut rum, 1 part mango juice, and 1 part orange juice.<\/p>\n

How to Make<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Pineapple Mango Rum Punch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Combine all juices (pineapple coconut, mango, and orange) and rum. Then stir. Pour over ice and add a splash of grenadine for color. The grenadine will fall to the bottom and give the drink a pretty ombre look. Then, add lime, orange zest, and edible flowers for garnish.<\/p>\n

\"Pineapple<\/p>\n

I’ve been to the\u00a0Caribbean<\/a> a few times, like I mentioned, and every time I’ve visited, there are always, ALWAYS a few\u00a0rum drinks on hand. They’re pretty much everywhere! So, I’m hoping that this recipe will\u00a0give you all of the tropical vibes today.<\/p>\n

And if you’re in the mood for a little more than a tropical drink, head over to the Carnival.com<\/a>\u00a0to check out cruise destinations near you and plan your next trip.<\/p>\n
