Hawaiian Punch Recipes: A Resource Page

In my last post I shared our family Hawaiian punch recipe. When I originally prepared that post in 2009 I also compiled a list of additional interesting punch recipes, which I will share again here on this page. All of the links lead to punch recipes from reputable sources. I hope that they help you find a recipe for your next party.

The Best-Ever Hawaiian Punch Recipe

Yes, we love it. Hawaii AND this Hawaiian punch recipe.  You will love our Hawaiian punch recipe, too. A homemade recipe, it is simple to put together, it is nutritious and it is definitely delicious.

My recipe is shown below. The recipe for a Mai Tai shown above is for illustration purposes. If you try it and love it be sure to let me know. If I get around to trying it, I will be sure to report back, LOL.

This recipe originated from the Culinary Arts Program at Maui Community College. I am sorry to say that I have absolutely no idea where I found it but I am pleased to say that we LOVE it.

It's perfect for any party or gathering plus we often have it for a special breakfast, at a birthday party and my when he was in middle school my son even dressed as a Hawaiian and sold it at a cultural fair. No, we are not Hawaiian but he was enthusiastic about this project and, despite his blonde hair, his pretend 'Hawaiian' heritage and his punch were a huge success.

Enjoy!

The Best-Ever Hawaiian Punch Recipe

This recipe serves 20 people unless they are really thirsty, in which case it will probably serve about 10 people.

Ingredients

4 Cups of Orange Juice
4 Cups of Guava Juice
4 Cups of Pineapple Juice
1/2 Cup Red Grenadine
4 1/2 Cups Ginger Ale

Instructions

Use frozen juice concentrates and mix according to the directions given by the manufacturer.

Make sure the juices are well chilled and have been in the fridge for at least a day. (That way you won't have to add too much ice to make it cold.)

When it is time to serve the punch, pour the juices into a large bowl and add the grenadine and ginger ale. (Make sure they are cold, too!) You can add some additional ice cubes if you wish.

This recipe is close to a traditional Hawaiian rum punch...without the rum. If you wish you can add the rum by using 3 1/2 cups less ginger ale and substituting 3 cups of light rum and 1/2 cup of dark rum. Don't stir in the rum, just add it.

------------------------------------------

Well, there you have it. A simple punch recipe that is perfect for your next gathering.

Do you like rum in YOUR Hawaiian punch?

See you
in the kitchen!
