Ingredients:

Base Punch:

  • 3 cups (720ml) pineapple juice, chilled
  • 1 cup (240ml) coconut cream

Optional Add-Ins:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base:

  • In a large punch bowl, combine pineapple juice, coconut cream, and white grape juice. Whisk until the coconut cream is fully blended.

2. Add the Fizz:
