Don Q

In my recipes, you’ll notice I often recommend Don Q. Established in Ponce in 1865, it is the best-selling rum in Puerto Rico. While other brands are famous worldwide, Don Q is what you’ll find in a true Puerto Rican home and at every chinchorreo. Its clean, refined taste is what makes our Coquito and Piña Colada taste like the island.  
  • Don Q Cristal (Silver): El mejor para el Mojito, la Gasolina y la Piña Colada porque es transparente y no cambia el color de la fruta.
  • Don Q Gold: Perfecto para el Coquito si te gusta un sabor un poco más amaderado y profundo.
  • Don Q 151: Si quieres que tu Chichaíto o tu Gasolina tengan un «kick» mucho más fuerte (¡pero con cuidado!)
  Ingredients:  
  • 2 cups Don Q Cristal (White Rum)
  • 1 cup Don Q Gold (for a deeper flavor)
  • 2 cups Pineapple Juice
  • 2 cups Orange Juice
  • 1 cup Passion Fruit Juice (Parcha)
  • ½ cup Grenadine (for color and sweetness)
  • ¼ cup Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Fresh Fruit: Slices of orange, lime, and pineapple to garnish the bowl or pitcher.
  Methods:  
  • The Big Mix: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine all the fruit juices (pineapple, orange, parcha, and lime).
  • Add the Spirit: Pour in the Don Q Cristal and Don Q Gold. Stir well to combine.
  • Sweeten: Slowly add the grenadine and stir until the punch gets a beautiful tropical sunset color.
  • Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before the party.
    • Tip: Don’t add ice to the pitcher! Add ice to the individual glasses so the punch doesn’t get watered down.
  • Garnish: Add the fresh fruit slices directly into the punch bowl for a beautiful presentation.
  • Serve: Pour into glasses filled with ice and enjoy!
