Planter’s Punch is a fruity cocktail that’s spiked with rum. Made with orange and pineapple juices, a splash of lime, grenadine, and dark or spiced rum, this tropical mixed drink is dangerously delicious!

Similar to my Rum Punch and Rum Runner drinks, this recipe is great for parties and summer nights!

Two glasses filled with planter's punch with a bottle of rum in the background.

When you’re enjoying the company of friends and family, sometimes you just want something easy to drink. If this is the case, try Planter’s Punch, a fun, fruity concoction that’s dangerously delicious.

The first time I tried Planter’s Punch was on last year’s Princess Cruise, and I was blown away… I couldn’t even taste the alcohol!

When I make this recipe at home, not only does it make me think of white sandy beaches and tiki huts, it takes me back to that memorable vacation!

Planters Punch Ingredients:

This Planter’s Punch recipe blends tropical fruit juices, fresh garnishes, and a couple of shots of the good stuff!

  • ice cubes
  • dark rum
  • orange juice
  • pineapple juice
  • lime juice
  • grenadine
  • club soda
  • orange slice
  • pineapple wedge
  • maraschino cherry
Planter's punch served in a glass with cherry and orange garnishes.

How To Make Planter’s Punch

  1. Add rum, orange juice, pineapple juice, lime juice, and grenadine to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 20 seconds. 
  2. Fill a tall glass 3/4 of the way with ice and pour the shaker contents into the glass filled with ice. Top with club soda, if desired, and garnish with orange, pineapple, and cherry. Serve with a straw.

I usually use Myer’s, but any darker or spiced rum will do the trick. You can even mix rums, and for a Planter’s Punch that’s especially potent, add shots of white, amber, and dark rums to the recipe.

I like to add a splash of club soda to my Planters Punch, but it’s completely optional. I just think the fizz adds a nice touch to this fruit cocktail, especially if you’re making it in large batches and serving it from a punch bowl!

Don’t forget the fun garnishes! Use orange slices, pineapple slices, and maraschino cherries to decorate these island-inspired mixed drinks.

Can You Make Planter’s Punch Ahead Of Time?

Yes, you can! If you do decide to make this as a punch for a large gathering, you can definitely make it ahead, just don’t add the ice or club soda until just before serving!

Sometimes during get-togethers, I find it easiest to serve one “signature drink” instead of setting up a cocktail bar, and Planter’s Punch is easy to make in big batches. Plus, it looks gorgeous when it’s served in a glass pitcher with a spout and fresh orange slices infusing it.

If the kiddos want a special drink or you or a guest are pregnant or don’t drink, you can also make a non-spiked version of this punch by leaving out the rum. You might even want to add plastic swords or drink umbrellas to make the virgin versions look extra festive!

With a kick of tang and a lot of sweetness, this recipe for Planter’s Punch is perfect to sip and share with loved ones all summer long! Just be careful, because it’s so good, you’ll probably want more than one!

Notes About Planters Punch Recipe:

  • Ice – You will want to shake the ingredients WITH ice as well as pour over ice. The reason is that this cocktail has a lot of room temperature ingredients (especially if you use fresh-squeezed orange juice – YUM) and shaking it with ice will help to cool the liquid down and prevent it from melting the ice in the glass really fast. No one likes a watered-down drink!
  • Rum – The foundation of this cocktail is rum, but you can make it your own by choosing different kinds of rum. Dark Rum is the classic spirit for this recipe, but if you’d rather do a spiced or white rum, that’s fine too. A popular twist on this cocktail actually adds 1 ounce of each dark, spiced, and white to the drink for an extra-strong cocktail. If you prefer coconut rum, I would actually recommend my Mai Tai cocktail instead!
  • Punch – Originally, this post-prohibition cocktail was made as a punch, nowadays, it’s often made to order by the glass. But it’s still a very easy recipe to make in large batches, and guests will love its fruity flavors and how easy this stuff goes down!
  • Variations – Like most punch recipes, they change over time. The original Planters Punch recipe was just rum, lime juice, sugar, and water! Feel free to play with your ratios or add sours mix or even a dash to two of Angostura bitters. You can also leave out the rum for a non-alcoholic version.

    1/5 oz? Pineapple juice? Or a 5 oz ? I have never seen 1/5 oz in a recipe?

      Hi Kirsten, it should be 2 ounces, I’m not sure where the 1/5 came from, I think it must have been a typo.
