In blender, in batches, purée sliced peaches, juice, coconut milk and honey until smooth. Transfer to large bowl; whisk in rum and lime juice. Cover and refrigerate until very cold (can be made the day before).
To serve, pour chilled mixture into punch bowl or large pitcher; add ginger ale. Place several peach slices, raspberries and ice cubes in each glass; fill with peach mixture.
Island Peach Pops: In blender, combine 2 cups (500 mL) sliced peeled peaches, 3/4 cup (175 mL) pineapple or orange juice, 3 tbsp (45 mL) each honey and coconut milk; purée until smooth. Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) vanilla Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced peeled peaches; pulse to combine. Pour into 3 oz (90 mL) paper cups, freeze partially then insert sticks or plastic spoons in centre of each pop. Or pour into ice-pop molds; insert sticks. Freeze until solid, 2 to 4 hours. Makes about 10 pops.
TIPS:
In true Caribbean-style, sprinkle each serving with freshly grated nutmeg.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace rum with an equal amount of juice.
