•Add the rum to taste. Start with 1/2 cup and stir to combine, then add more if you want a stronger punch.
•Add ice cubes for a colder, frostier punch. More ice will result in a slushier consistency.
•Garnish with fruit like mango, lime and ginger for extra flavor, texture and color.
• You can also add a splash of Cointreau or triple sec for extra orange flavor.
• Float a cinnamon stick or nutmeg piece on top for anfestive, spicy finish.

• Stir again before serving each glass for a fizzier punch. Enjoy!
