• Chill Time: Keep the punch chilled with ice until ready to serve.

Variations

Storage/Reheating

This punch is best served fresh. However, you can store it in the fridge for a few hours before serving. If storing leftovers, keep them in an airtight container and consume within 1-2 days. The sherbet will start to melt, but it will still taste great. Reheat is unnecessary since it’s a chilled drink.

FAQs

1. Can I make this punch in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the punch up to 1-2 hours before serving, but wait to add ice and garnishes until just before serving.

3. Is this punch suitable for kids?

While this punch contains alcohol, you can easily make it non-alcoholic by omitting the rum.
