Notes
To keep that punch perfection, pour it into an airtight container and stash it in the fridge, where it’ll stay fresh and fruity for 3-5 days. If you’ve already added the bubbles and want to save some sparkle for later, make sure to use a container with a tight seal to maintain that fizz. Just give it a gentle stir before serving it up again!

A fish fry sounds wonderful! Family gathering around to enjoy yummy fried seafood is a great way to spend a weekend. And this punch looks delightful!
