Time 4h25m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

20 sprigs mint, plus more for garnish
1 cup sugar
2 cups gin
2 cups fresh pink grapefruit juice
2 cups white rum
2 cups tequila
2 cups triple sec
2 cups vodka
One 2-liter bottle cola
1 pink grapefruit, sliced

Steps:

  • Pull the leaves off of 10 sprigs of mint. Divide them among the 12 cups of a 12-cup muffin tin. Pour water over to cover. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
  • Combine the sugar with 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the remaining 10 sprigs of mint. Remove from heat and steep 15 minutes. Strain and allow the simple syrup to cool slightly.
  • Mix the gin, grapefruit juice, rum, tequila, triple sec, vodka and mint syrup in gallon-size container. Chill until ready to serve. Pour the mixture into a large punch bowl.
  • Pour in the cola just before serving. Float 6 to 8 grapefruit slices in the punch. Unmold the mint ice cubes and add to the punch bowl. Serve in cups over ice and garnish with mint sprigs.
