Pineapple Punch


Explanation:
The above option is fine, but judging by the ingredients, it is what one would probably call a 'punch' type beverage.

I just think Pineapple Punch gives over more of the alcoholic nature of the drink.

I may be wrong!!

Pineapple Surprise


Explanation:
We didn't know you wanted the whole thing.

1 pineapple, nice and juicy, medium-sized or large, depending on the number to be served, or small, in which case it will serve one.
1 or 2 mangoes, depending on the size of the pineapple
1 papaya
1 or 2 oranges -
in short, use several fruits because it's a fruit cocktail we're making! -
add some vinegar, rum, or lemon juice to taste.
