Method
 

  1. Chill all juices and the rum in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before mixing.

  4. Add 2 cups of pineapple juice to the pitcher.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of orange juice and stir gently.
  6. Measure and add 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice, then stir to combine.
  7. Stir the mixture thoroughly for about 30 seconds to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
  8. Top the mixture with 2 cups of ginger ale or club soda and stir gently to preserve the carbonation.
  9. Taste the punch and adjust by adding more lime juice or pineapple juice as desired.
  10. Add additional ice if needed and garnish with pineapple chunks, lime wheels, and cherries before serving.

Notes

Prepare the juice base ahead and chill; add carbonated beverage and fresh ice just before serving for maximum fizz.
