Cool Goodwill score! Anyone have a good rum punch recipe?

My rules for rum.
Look for dark navy rum. And avoid any spiced rum unless you know that you like it. Spiced rum is just too sweet 90% of the time, and light rums don't really taste of much.
Dark navy rum is not common in the US. I would say 95% of the rum sold is either white or spiced. Would need to go to a specialty store for it. Even the biggest specialty store in Chicago has only a few results.

 
My thought .....

Alcohol evaporates rather rapidly even in standing fluids. Moving the fluid will probably accelerate that. You might only have rum flavoring after a while.
 
This thing was a HUGE hit at Thanksgiving. Everyone loved it and commented on how neat it is. I ended up using @Dr. Detroit s recipe and it was a hit. I did leave the rum out because we had several younger family members who wanted to use it. Most of the adults just added rum to their glass after so it worked out.

I was just going to either donate back to Goodwill or just tossing it but I might end up keeping it.

That looks great fun, and i can see exactly why the kids wanted to try it!
 
They'd have liked it more with rum...
HA! What's your phone number and address so I can send my niece and nephews angry parents your way! I'm sure my excuse of "BoomerD said it would be more fun!" would have gone over real well. 😀
