In my family, my parents house is usually the gathering spot. All my aunts, cousins and my grandparents come over, heat up the grill and swim. These are some of my favorite times. Usually my grandfather is on the grill, my mom takes care of the sides and I am in charge of the cocktails. Since I want to actually enjoy myself during these gatherings, I like to prepare drinks that I can make ahead in large batches.

This mango rum punch is awesome because not only is it boozy, tropical and delicious...it's highly portable. This is the perfect drink to bring to a cookout or pool party with your friends. I like to serve this drink in these bags I got from Amazon. They come with straws too so all you have to do is pour in your cocktail, put them in a cooler and let guests enjoy themselves. The best part is that after the drinks are done, all you have to do is throw away the pouches. Minimal clean up.

I hope you enjoy this punch all summer long with the ones you love most.
