- Add in the ginger ale just before serving and give it a gentle stir to preserve the bubbles.
- Garnish with cranberries, orange slices, or rosemary if desired.
- Serve cold, preferably within a few hours of mixing to keep it bubbly and fresh.
Tip: Add ice or freeze some juice in advance to create decorative ice cubes that won’t dilute your punch.
