Sunshine Punch: The Nostalgic Orange Creme Rum Liqueur

Feb 19, 2026

Sunshine Punch

If you want a drink that captures a classic, sun-drenched vibe, Sunshine Punch Orange Creme is the answer. Born in North Carolina, this rum-based cream liqueur is much more than a simple beverage. It is a “sip of sunshine” designed to bring back the joy of a relaxed summer afternoon.

Why Sunshine Punch Stands Out

Founders Brian Thomason and Matt Hemmings created a unique entry in the world of spirits that gained quick traction when it won the 2023 WSWA Brand Battle Tournament. This award highlights its appeal in a competitive market.

  • The Classic Flavor: Every sip starts with a bright orange aroma. Next, it moves into a smooth blend of orange and cream. It ends with a sweet vanilla finish.
  • Dairy-Rich and Shelf-Stable: This drink uses real dairy for a light creamy texture. However, it is special because it is completely shelf-stable. You do not even need to worry about separation.
  • Gluten-Free: It is gluten-free. Consequently, it is an easy choice to share with friends and family at any gathering.

Official Sunshine Punch Recipes (With Our Premium Twist)

The following recipes are inspired by official suggestions from Sunshine Punch. Additionally, we have upgraded them by pairing the orange creme with premium spirits from our portfolio. This “Pro-Tip” ensures a high-quality cocktail every time.

  • SS Brunch Punch: The ultimate morning-time cocktail. Mix 2 oz of Sunshine Punch with 1 oz of Pure Culture Vodka. Add 2 oz of orange juice and a splash of cranberry juice for a bright, refreshing drink.
  • The Funshine: For a bold, citrusy kick, try the Funshine. Simply mix 2 oz of Sunshine Punch with 1 oz of Dano’s Dangerous Tequila Blanco. The agave notes from the tequila pair perfectly with the orange cream.
  • Orange Russian: This is a sophisticated, creamy dessert drink. Combine 1 oz of Sunshine Punch with 1.5 oz of Pink Spoonbill Vodka and 1 oz of heavy cream (or your favorite milk substitute). Add a dash of bitters to balance the sweetness.
  • Key Sicle: If you want something tropical, the Key Sicle is the way to go. Mix 2 oz of Sunshine Punch with 2 oz of Fish Hawk Black Rum and 2 oz of banana daiquiri mix or banana puree. It is like a vacation in a glass.
