Yes, fresh juice is ideal. Squeeze the lime and lemon first, then orange, adding approximately 1 oz lime, 0.5 oz lemon, 0.5 oz orange, and 1 tsp pineapple juice.
Mr. Boston Rum is specified in the recipe, but other light or gold rums work well. Avoid overproof varieties unless you prefer a stronger spirit-forward drink.
Serve chilled over ice. There is no indication this is a hot punch, so prepare with ice-cold ingredients or chill before serving.
Adjust proportions slightly: reduce the dominant juice by a few drops and taste. The recipe's specific ratios are designed for balance, but personal preference varies.
