The colour of pineapples reminds me of summer. Hot, tropical sunny days, this punch is perfect as an afternoon drink for the whole family. Or add a nip or two of vodka into the mix and you have a festive cocktail to party the night away.

Your photos of the punch are fantastic, so colourful! I love pineapple season, it is my favourite fruit. I am definitely going to try this punch…would be a nice one to bring out for Christmas lunch.
Oh this looks so good. Its so yellow and summery. A nice combo with gingerale……no alcohol Lizzie what about some Vodka??
Well you can have alcohol of your choice in it if you wish.
Terrific punch! I love the flavor of pineapple. And I never seem to drink ginger ale, and it has such a lovely flavor. It must taste wonderful combined with the pineapple. Good stuff – thanks.
This does sound like summer! I recon a nip or two of coconut rum wouldn’t go wrong either 😉
Yes coconut rum would go down a treat in this for sure.
