Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, pour in the spiced rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, cranberry juice, and fresh lime juice. Stir gently to mix all the flavors evenly.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the punch mixture, then add 1 to 2 tablespoons of simple syrup or your preferred sweetener according to your desired sweetness. Stir well to incorporate.

Notes
- For a spicier version: simmer juices with cinnamon sticks first, then cool before adding rum.
