This year, on my travels in California, I discovered Shasta Tiki Punch, and now prefer it over Hawaiian Punch. Firstly, it's carbonated. Secondly, the can is much cooler, featuring a rather nice tiki mug - sorry Punchy! Finally, it's stupidly cheap - one truck stop sold it at 4 cans for a dollar or something.

Anyway, I have kind of 'invented' a tasty tiki cocktail that tastes like a boozy-fruity version of Hawaiian Punch. I use:

2 oz Cherry Sourz (A schnapps I think? Only 15% alcohol so I go big on this!)
0.5 oz Triple Sec
Couple dashes of Creme de Banana
4 oz Tropicana white grape and mandarin juice (white grape should do the trick - OJ just doesn't cut it)

Shake up with some ice and guzzle. Yum.
