This is really good punch, but it definitely needs more rum than is called for. I started with 2 cups and then added more a little bit at a time until I hit the right amount. Also- if you're going to be keeping the punch bowl or pitcher out, I recommend freezing some pineapple or mango juice into an ice cube tray so you can drop a cube into drinks as you pour them. This punch is best when very cold.

Substitute an additional cup of seltzer for the rum if you prefer to turn this summer cocktail into a refreshing tropical fruit punch.
