This peanut punch recipe has always been one of my favourite "special" drinks, specifically * trini peanut punch *, since my parents are Trinidadian. It is truly one of the most delicious drinks out there. Take it from someone who didn't even like peanut butter for 26 years of their life (I love peanut butter now) but still loved peanut punch!
I loved peanut punch as a kid, and still do! My kids, nieces, and nephews do, too. Everybody does! It's a drink that can be enjoyed by all ages. I'm sure you and your family will love it just the same!
You will find many variations and different ways of making peanut punch. You'll find recipes known as Trini peanut punch, Jamaican peanut punch, Caribbean peanut punch, and more. They are equally delicious, even though they may be made using slightly different ingredients.
The next time you're craving a creamy drink, try this refreshing recipe and you will be completely satisfied! It is way better than store-bought punch and doesn't include all the "extra" ingredients.

This peanut punch recipe is a pretty basic recipe but it is so yummy and it is a good place to start. I would start by making this recipe exactly as is. Once you have a taste for it, then you can start making substitutions/additions.
Here are some ideas for different ways to make peanut punch:
Store peanut punch in an airtight jug/container for up to 3 days.
Before serving, stir the peanut punch in the jug well, then pour into serving glasses over ice.
Yes! The taste and consistency will be different, but delicious nonetheless. Use oat, coconut, or almond milk instead of whole milk. Omit the evaporated milk and replace it with the plant-based milk you chose. Use maple syrup, agave nectar, coconut sugar, or your choice of sweetener to replace the sweetened condensed milk. You might be able to get your hands on dairy-free sweetened condensed milk. Vegan peanut punch might not be as creamy as non-vegan, but you can add some creaminess by adding cashew butter.
Though I prefer serving this right away due to the change in consistency that can occur, you can absolutely still make it ahead of time. Be sure to keep it in the fridge, in an airtight container, for no longer than 3 days. When ready to serve, give it a good stir before pouring into serving glasses. You can even add a splash of milk if you find it's thickened a bit too much.
