Ingredients
  

The Liquors
  • 2 oz rum white or coconut
  • 2 oz vodka
  • 2 oz tequila silver
The Mixers
  • 2 oz lemon-lime soda Sprite or 7Up
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 2 oz orange juice
  • 1 cup grenadine adjust to taste
Garnish
  • 2 cups fresh fruit pineapples, oranges, cherries
  • 1 bucket ice cubed or crushed

Equipment

  • 32oz Plastic Bucket or Large Container
  • Long Spoon or Straw
  • Knife for fruit

Method
 

  1. Fill a clean, food-grade bucket halfway with ice.
  2. Pour the rum, vodka, and tequila over the ice.
  3. Add the lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, and orange juice. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Slowly pour the grenadine down the side of the bucket. Allow it to sink to the bottom to create a red-to-orange gradient effect.
  5. Top with fresh fruit chunks and serve with a large straw.

Notes

The grenadine amount creates the deep red color but adds significant sweetness. Start with less if you prefer a drier drink.
