There’s something magical about a big chilled pitcher of punch in the middle of a hot afternoon. I remember my mom whisking together fruity drinks in old glass pitchers, never measuring, just feeling. We’d sneak peach slices and sip from mismatched cups as the ice melted slow. That’s where this Ocean Peach Punch was born—a blend of peach schnapps, coconut rum, pineapple juice, and blue curaçao that reminds me of barefoot backyard days and laughter that lingers. It’s beachy, bold, and bursting with color—just like summer should be. And yes, I still use the same old pitcher.

Serving & Storage Tips for Ocean Peach Punch
Keep it cool, colorful, and crowd-ready
Ocean Peach Punch shines when served chilled in glass pitchers or a punch bowl. Add lots of ice and let those ocean swirls show. Use clear glasses so the blue curaçao stands out, and don’t skip the fruit garnish—it adds that playful, tropical touch.
Hosting outdoors? Freeze peach slices or pineapple chunks to use as ice cubes—they’ll chill without watering it down.
Can you store leftovers?
Yes—store punch without the soda in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Add soda only when serving, or it’ll lose its fizz. Leftovers? Use them in popsicle molds for frozen cocktail pops!
Pair with a cool side like Caribbean Cloud Candy Cocktail or a treat like Irresistible White Chocolate Caramel Chunk Cookies for a full summer spread.
