Spiced Rum Punch
1 bottle (750ml) spiced rum, preferably Captain Morgan
3/4 cup pineapple juice
Juice of 6 oranges
Juice of 6 lemons
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1-1/2 quarts ginger ale
Orange and lemon slices and maraschino cherries for garnish.
Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl and stir well. Add ginger ale just before serving. Chill with a large block of ice and garnish at will. I would freeze slices of oranges and lemons in the ice too.
