    This Rum Punch is full of fun citrus flavors and is perfect for a party or ladies’ night!

    Are you familiar with Galentine’s Day?

    February 13th (also known as Galentine’s Day) is a day to celebrate female friendship. It started hilariously on the show Parks and Recreation, when Leslie Knope threw a celebration for her gal pals.

    There were thoughtful, handmade gifts, plenty of compliments, and of course, plenty to eat. As Leslie would say, “Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus fritattas!”

    I’m so excited to be taking part in a Galentine’s Day party today! A bunch of great bloggers have gotten together to share recipes with you perfect for celebrating female friendships.

    While we unfortunately don’t have any fritattas, we do have a heck of a good spread. Make sure you scroll down to the end of the post and visit all of the other delicious treats coming to the party!

    When trying to decide what to make for a ladies only party, my mind immediately went to a fruity cocktail. Most men have a problem with a brightly colored drink that has a piece of fruit hanging off the side. And let me tell you, this rum punch is fruity, fun, and goes down (dangerously) smooth.

    Drink responsibly, people, and stick with your girlfriends! Even though Galentine’s Day is traditionally a brunch affair, I still think this drink is acceptable. Kind of like a mimosa with rum…

    I love making a signature house cocktail when a lot of people are coming over. It saves a lot of time spent choosing and mixing drinks, plus it makes for a fun memory. Every time you make that drink you’ll think of the special occasion you made it for originally.

    I’ve included two recipes here. One makes twenty four servings (which I would say is enough for 8-12 actual people) and the other is for a single serving. This way you can recreate it on a night at home (or if you’re alone for Galentine’s/Valentine’s, awww).

      I love the colors in these Lindsay! The photos here are gorgeous. Pretty much a brightly colored drink with a piece of fruit hanging off the side is the only kind of cocktail I like. 🙂 I am so glad you could join the party today. Wish we could share a few rounds of this drink together!

      This is so beautiful, Lindsay! I’m so glad I’ve found your blog through our Galantine’s Day party! You are right that most men do NOT enjoy fruity drinks. I have a sangria party every summer, and all the men might have one glass (so they don’t hurt my feelings?) and then switch to beer. Oh well, more fruity alcohol for the ladies. It never seems to be a problem 😉

          You’re in. As long as you like badminton. I force everybody to play endless badminton. With sangria in one hand, of course.

      Brunch is just an excuse to drink before noon. 🙂 I love your rum punch, love that the only sweetener is just juice and that you use dark rum (my favorite)! Going on my list for sure!

      Ummm…is it ok to admit that the larger batch is the perfect amount for me? 😉 This punch is amazing! Rum is one of my fave alcohols (I always have it at home) and you’re right, a cocktail is perfect for parties (even parties of one). Your photos are fabulous. I’m feeling awfully thirsty right now! Happy Galentine’s Day, Lindsay!
