Notes
I always chill the lemonade and juices first. That way, the punch stays cold longer and doesn’t get watery so fast.
If you want a lighter punch, just use more club soda and less vodka. Super easy tweak.
Fresh lemons and limes really do make a difference for garnish. Sometimes I swap vodka for gin, or even sparkling wine if I’m in the mood for something different.
You can totally skip the booze and just use lemonade and soda for a non-alcoholic version. It still tastes great.
I usually mix the punch right before guests show up, so it’s fresh. Extra garnishes on the side are always a hit—people like customizing their drinks. Leftovers (without ice) keep in the fridge for a day, but honestly, there’s rarely any left.
