Ingredients

  • 3 cups orange juice
  • 3 cups pineapple juice
  • 1 cup lime juice
  • a healthy pinch of cinnamon
  • a healthy pinch of nutmeg
  • 6 generous shakes of angostura bitters
  • 2 1/2 cups dark or light rum
  • grenadine syrup (will give amount in the procedure)
  • 1 1/4 cups simple syrup

Directions

In a large pitcher, mix together juices, spices, bitters and rum.  Add grenadine syrup until the punch reaches the color of a flaming sunset. Grenadine syrups differ in sweetness, so add the simple syrup after this point, tasting along the way until the desired sweetness is achieved.
