Pineapple Punch with Ginger Beer
A refreshing and fizzy Pineapple Punch made with pineapple juice, orange juice, rum, lime juice, and ginger beer for spicy punch. This cocktail recipe comes together quickly and yields a pitcher, making it ideal for entertaining. Seek out a high-quality ginger beer for this cocktail! Fever Tree is my favorite brand of ginger beer. It is low in sugar and packs a fresh, spicy ginger punch. For this recipe, you’ll need 32 ounces total, or two 16.9 ounce bottles.If you're looking to take this drink up a notch, try it with homemade pineapple juice - see the note section for instructions.

How to Make Homemade Pineapple Juice:
- 1 medium pineapple, peeled and cored, will yield approximately 1½ cups to 2 cups (12 to 16 ounces) pineapple juice.
- Place chopped pineapple in a large food processor. Puree until completely smooth. Strain through a large fine-meshed sieve, using a spatula to press down the pulp to release the juice, into a large measuring cup or bowl. Fresh pineapple juice can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days.
