Ingredients
For the Punch (Serves 6–8):
-
1 ½ cups coconut rum (Malibu or similar)
-
1 cup vodka (plain or citrus-flavored)
-
¾ cup blue curaçao
-
2 cups pineapple juice
-
1 cup orange juice
-
1 ½ cups lemon-lime soda (Sprite or 7UP)
-
Juice of 1 lemon
-
Ice (as needed)
Optional Garnishes:

Pineapple wedges

Lemon wheels

Maraschino cherries
-
Gummy candies or sour belts

Instructions
Step 1: Chill Your Ingredients
Before mixing, ensure that all your juices and soda are well chilled. This keeps the drink refreshing without watering it down too much with ice.
Step 2: Combine the Spirits
In a large punch bowl or pitcher, pour:
-
1 ½ cups of coconut rum
-
1 cup of vodka
-
¾ cup of blue curaçao
Stir gently to mix the alcohols.
Step 3: Add the Juices
Pour in the:
-
2 cups pineapple juice
-
1 cup orange juice
-
Juice of 1 freshly squeezed lemon
Mix until evenly combined.
Step 4: Top with Soda
Right before serving, gently pour in:
-
1 ½ cups of lemon-lime soda
Stir lightly to keep the fizz intact.
Step 5: Fill with Ice
Add plenty of ice to the punch bowl or serving glasses. The more ice, the longer your punch stays chilled without losing flavor.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Ladle into cocktail glasses or plastic cups. Top with:
-
Pineapple wedges or lemon wheels on the rim
-
Cherries or gummy candy for fun
-
Glow sticks or drink umbrellas to fit the party vibe
Notes
The Electric Island Punch was inspired by beach clubs and summer music festivals. It’s made to impress in both appearance and taste. The coconut rum and pineapple juice bring smooth, tropical tones, while the blue curaçao adds not just its electric color, but a subtle orange-citrus note that enhances the punch.
Use citrus-flavored vodka (like lemon or orange) for extra zest if desired. For large crowds, you can easily double or triple the recipe—just keep the ratios intact for the perfect balance of sweet, tart, and boozy.
