What is Rum Punch?

Tips for Making This Delicious Rum Punch
- I’m not a big fan of ice in my drinks so I recommend freezing the strawberries and pineapple chunks to chill the cocktail. Add frozen fruit to glasses to keep cocktail cool instead of using ice.

- I highly recommend using 99 Bananas because it’s the best banana liqueur.
