• If you don't have a grill, you can also use a grill pan or broil the pineapple in the oven.
• For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the tequila and add more ginger beer or sparkling water.

Storage and Serving

• This punch is best served fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
• If the punch separates, simply give it a good stir before serving again.
• You can also make a large batch of this punch ahead of time and keep it chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
