FAQs
Can I make this punch the night before?
You can prepare the juice mixture in advance, but I recommend adding the ginger ale and fresh fruit just before serving to maintain its bubbly freshness.
What can I use instead of ginger ale?
Lemon-lime soda or a mild soda water can be great substitutes, offering a different twist on the punch.
