Total time is about 7 minutes (7 min prep + 0 min cook). Most home bartenders find this fits a single afternoon; scale up the batch for parties or pitchers.
How do I store leftover Pineapple and Orange Curaçao Aged Rum Punch?
Refrigerate any leftover pineapple and orange curaçao aged rum punch in a sealed pitcher or jar for up to 3–4 days. Do not reheat — drinks are served chilled. If the recipe uses sparkling water or fresh herbs, hold those back and add fresh just before pouring so the drink stays bright and fizzy.
Can I substitute ingredients in Pineapple and Orange Curaçao Aged Rum Punch?
