Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
This punch comes together rapidly and retains its bright fizz best when you add the ginger ale just before serving. To keep the punch chilled longer, prepare the juice base ahead and refrigerate it. When ready to serve, stir in the ginger ale gently to maintain its bubbles. Use freshly squeezed orange juice for an even brighter, fresher flavor.
