Prepare the fruits: Wash, hull, and slice all fresh fruits. If using fresh pineapple, remove the tough core.
Mix the juices: In a large punch bowl or drink dispenser, combine pineapple juice, orange juice, papaya nectar, guava juice, and cranberry juice. Stir well.
Add flavor boosters: Stir in grenadine, honey, lime juice, and almond extract until fully combined. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity if needed.
Incorporate fresh fruits: Add most of the fruit slices and chunks, reserving some for garnish. Let the flavors meld.
Chill & serve: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. When ready, add plenty of ice and garnish with the reserved fruit slices.
Pro Tip: Make fruit ice cubes by freezing small fruit pieces with water in an ice cube tray to prevent dilution!
For a fizzy punch, add 2 cups of ginger ale or lemon-lime soda before serving.
To make it a Tropical Coconut Punch, mix in 1 cup coconut water and ¼ cup cream of coconut.
For an adult version, add 1-2 cups of white rum or coconut rum.
Can be made up to 24 hours in advance—just add ice right before serving.
