If you’ve got some kids or non-drinking friends coming to your party (hopefully an outdoor, socially distanced, safe shindig!), just set some punch aside for them and then add your rum to the alcoholic version. If you use juice that’s more pinkish, the drink will be a bit pinker and less red. Note that the blood orange juice I used was a deep red color. This drink was still sweet enough!
