How to make a Rum Punch

To make a Rum Punch, build in a mug: rum, 1½ oz ginger ale, 12 oz fruit punch and 12 oz orange juice.

You'll need

1 drink

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour into a mug: rum, fruit punch and orange juice.

  2. 2

    Top with ginger ale.

  3. 3

    Give it one gentle stir.

Why build it in the glass? Nothing here needs shaking, and pouring straight in keeps the ginger ale fizzy.
