Trash Can Punch Recipe for 100
Plus, Item by Item Cost Breakdown

Trash Can Punch is so named simply because no one can think of another suitable container for a punch recipe this size. A bathtub would do, but I hate to steal gin's thunder. And Wine Barrel Punch just doesn't have the same head-snapping quality as Trash Can Punch, does it?

Despite its name, Trash Can Punch is a very tasty tropical punch recipe featuring rum, juice, fruit and pomegranate syrup. It serves 100, too, making it an excellent luau punch and/or beach party idea.

Fruit is a huge part of any Trash Can Punch recipe, putting a whole new slant on fruit punch, for sure. In fact, it reminds me of the resort drinks you get in Hawaii, part drink, part fruit salad. All you'd need is a red paper parasol and... ooooooh, let me go check. Be right back.

Okay, I'm back... they do exist and they only cost about $8. 32" paper parasols I'm sorry to say, some Trash Can Punch has a rather dubious reputation for 151-proof effect, without regard for taste. But we are more sophisticated and mature than that! We want quality, not just quantity, and here it is! (Okay, all noses in the air and cue the banner wavers.)

Trash Can Punch for 100

New 30-gallon rubber trash can
9 (750 ml) bottles light rum
9 (750 ml) bottles dark rum
4 (1-liter) bottles orange liqueur
30-40 pounds firm fruit *
3 gallons orange juice
3 gallons pineapple juice
7 liters (about 30 cups) fresh lime juice
2 liters grenadine (pomegranate syrup)
Ice

* Good fruit choices are oranges, pineapples, seedless grapes, apples, strawberries, seedless water-melon, peaches and apricots. Leave the strawberries and grapes whole but cut the rest into punch-cup size wedges. Make the punch on-site; only a nut would try to transport a 30-gallon "punch bowl" full of punch.

First, clean the trash can and rinse it very well.
Pour in the rums and the orange liqueur. Add the fruit and let it soak up the alcohol for an hour or two. (Punch-drunk fruit?)
Stir in the juices and grenadine. A small, clean, oar makes a good stirrer (or perhaps your big paper parasol will have a handle long enough to do the job.
Add a block of ice and let it chill. Serve over ice with fruit. Keep cold, adding ice as necessary. Makes 400 (4-ounce) servings, plus fruit and ice.

Note: If you'd like to tone it down a bit you can add more juice or some bottled water without harm-ing the recipe.
