Amaretto Island Punch is a vibrant, tropical cocktail that combines the sweet almond flavor of amaretto with the smoothness of coconut rum and the refreshing taste of pineapple and orange juices. This easy-to-make drink features a beautiful layered sunset effect created by grenadine, making it as visually stunning as it is delicious. Perfect for summer parties or a relaxing evening, this cocktail offers a delightful island escape in every sip.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 oz amaretto
  • 2 oz coconut rum
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 oz orange juice
  • ½ oz grenadine
  • Ice (to fill your glass)

Optional Garnish

  • Maraschino cherry
  • Orange slice
  • Tiny cocktail umbrella

Instructions

  1. Build the Base: Fill a tall glass with plenty of ice to chill the drink and keep it refreshing. Pour in the amaretto, coconut rum, pineapple juice, and orange juice directly over the ice to combine the flavors.
  2. Add That Island Glow: Slowly pour the grenadine over the back of a spoon into the drink. This technique allows the grenadine to sink gently to the bottom, creating a beautiful layered sunset swirl effect within the glass.
  3. Give It a Swirl (Optional): If you prefer a blended flavor, stir the drink gently to mix the layers together. Otherwise, leave it layered for a striking visual presentation that resembles a tropical sunset.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Top your glass with a maraschino cherry, an orange slice, and a tiny cocktail umbrella for a festive and authentic island punch look. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing tropical flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple and orange juice for the best natural flavor.
  • The grenadine creates the signature sunset swirl, so pour it slowly to achieve the effect.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of grenadine to suit your taste.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute amaretto and rum with almond and coconut flavored syrups.
  • Serve in a tall glass to showcase the colorful layers and garnishes.
