Foodie Fridays: Pineapple-Rum Punch
Swing into spring with this refreshing, fruity drink
Spring has sprung! The weather in many parts of the world is finally beginning to warm up, and with the sunny days and warm breezes comes my craving for summery mixed drinks on the patio. Though it’s not quite warm enough to justify pulling out the blender for slushy drinks like frozen mojitos, the weather’s perfect for a pitcher of something over ice.
I really enjoy stirring up a pitcher of cocktails. It feels a little more luxurious than mixing them drink by drink, and it’s more efficient! And don’t worry–this punch doesn’t require a multitude of liquors you’ve never heard of and may never use again. In fact, it’s just rum and fruit – which makes it one step removed from health food, right?
Celebrate spring with a pitcher of punch this weekend! Enjoy!
