When the temperatures soar, reach for this 3-ingredient thirst quencher with a kick!
Equal parts of tangy cranberry, citrusy pineapple juice, and tropical Malibu rum are poured over ice cubes. It’s refreshing, it’s delicious, and it’s twisted!
Why We Love It?
- No complicated recipe here, double or triple twisted pink for easy access pitchers by the pool!
- Add colorful garnishes like mint sprigs or fruit skewers for stirring and snacking!
- Jewel-toned twisted pink is a perfect libation for celebrating any occasion because it’s light and colorful and so quick and easy to make!
Ingredients and Variations
JUICE: The combo of pineapple and cranberry juice can’t be beat for its sweet-tart flavor and hot pink color! Try orange juice and pomegranate or lime-aid and cherry juice!
RUM: Any brand will do, but Malibu rum has that tropical coconut flavor that gives this cocktail its true twist! Other spirits to try are vodka, Moscato, or even sparkling wine!
VARIATIONS: Omit the rum and make Twisted Pink mocktails with a splash of sparkling water for effervescent fizz! Freeze juice in ice cubes to keep the drink from being watered down or freeze berries, chunks of pineapple, or cranberries in ice cubes for a fun garnish!
How to Make This Twisted Pink Drink
Three ingredients and three minutes for this cool quencher!
- Pour all ingredients into a large cup and mix well.
- Add ice cubes and optional garnish. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
Serve twisted pink in a clear glass pitcher and float thinly sliced oranges, lemons, and limes for a colorful presentation. If serving the same drink as a mocktail or to the kiddos, separate them by which garnishes are in each pitcher. Don’t forget the fancy glasses, colorful straws, and little umbrellas!
Time-Saving Tips
Make this colorful party punch ahead of time and keep chilled until ready to serve! Leftover punch without alcohol can be frozen into ice cubes to add color and sweetness to iced tea!

I would like to try this drink for the summer
I have used coconut rum and not used the grapefruit juice. Just pineapple and cranberry juice. I will try this recipe. It sounds really good…
