Superbowl Sunday Rum Punch

Unless you have been living in a cave (not that there is anything wrong with that) or you on a cruise around the world (in which case you probably don’t care) you probably realize that tomorrow is “Superbowl Sunday”. Many of you may already know that I am a huge football fan and although my team (The Pittsburgh Steelers) isn’t playing in the big game, Superbowl Sunday is still better than Christmas for me. Being that I like to pretend like I an amateur chef I take this as a great opportunity to get into the kitchen to cook a feast big enough to feed a parking lot full of hungry tail-gaters. Naturally, with all of the food that gets consumed comes a wee bit of alcohol. That alcohol is what brings me to the subject of this blog post, a new drink recipe.

Now, when watching the Superbowl I never plan on having people over. I don’t invite anyone or anything like that, to paraphrase Field of Dreams “if you make it they will come”. So, in addition to cooking a ton of food I also make sure to have a lot of drinks. Of course I pick the staples like beer and wine I always make a special drink. This year the drink I will be making is Caribbean Rum Punch.

1 Cup Bacardi 151 Proof Rum
1/2 Cup Dark Rum (Myers)
1/4 Cup Malibu Rum
2 1/2 Cups Pineapple Juice
2 1/2 Cups Orange Juice
1/4 Cup Lime Juice
3 Tblsp Grenadine
Ice Cubes

Of course you can either make this by the glass or scale it up to make a bowl of the punch. Also if the 151 is a little heavy (as it is for most people) just substitute a light colored rum in its place.
