Notes

Expert Tips

- Adjust Sweetness to Your Preference. If you prefer a less sweet punch, reduce the amount of grenadine. Or start with less sparkling water and gradually add more until you achieve your desired sweetness level. The beauty of this punch is that it’s highly customizable!

- Keep the Ice Separate. To avoid diluting the punch as the ice melts, consider serving the punch with ice cubes on the side or in separate glasses. This way, your guests can add their own ice as needed, keeping the punch from getting watered down too quickly.

- Add Marshmallows Just Before Serving. For the best visual appeal and texture, add the mini marshmallows and marshmallow eggs just before serving. If they sit in the liquid too long, they will start to dissolve and lose their shape and color.

- Chill the Ingredients in Advance. Chill your lemonade, sparkling water, and ginger ale ahead of time to keep the punch cool without needing to add excessive ice. This also ensures that the flavors meld together even before you serve it.

- Enhance the Tropical Flavor with Fresh Pineapple. For an extra burst of tropical goodness, add some fresh pineapple chunks to the punch just before serving. The pineapple adds a fresh flavor and makes the punch even more festive.

- Customize for Your Party Theme. If you’re serving this punch for a different holiday or event, you can easily swap out the marshmallow eggs for themed candies (like mini hearts for Valentine’s Day or snowflakes for winter celebrations). The punch is versatile enough for any occasion!

- Serve in Fun Glassware. For a more festive touch, serve the punch in fun glassware, such as mason jars, colorful plastic cups, or wine glasses. This gives the drink a more personalized feel and makes it even more enjoyable for your guests.

Top Tip

I discovered that a trifle bowl (affiliate link) also makes an excellent punch bowl. I only have one vintage punch bowl set, and I was tired of using it for every single recipe. And since I couldn't get a reasonably priced punch set off of Amazon in a hurry, I simply used my trifle bowl and some wine glasses (you can use plastic ones for kids, or any type of glasses, for that matter).

It's a fun alternative to a traditional punch bowl and allows you to see the vibrant colors of the drink, especially when paired with the colorful marshmallow eggs and mini marshmallows.

The great thing about trifle bowls is that they do double duty and are more reasonably priced than punch bowls. A trifle bowl costs about $35, while a punch bowl set starts at about $60+!

🌡️Storage

Store punch in juice jug in fridge for up to 4 days.

This punch can be frozen in a juice jug for up to 3 months (be sure to leave room for expansion during freezing) and remove marshmallows if you are freezing leftovers. Defrost in fridge or at room temperature and add garnishes without freezing.

*You can also use the leftovers to make popsicles! Just pour into popsicle molds and freeze for 8 hours.
