Notes
- Early Prep – You can mix all the juices ahead of time, but add the sparkling water or soda just before serving to keep the punch bubbly.
- Alcoholic Version – Add 1-2 cups of vodka, prosecco, or champagne for an adult-friendly twist. Adjust to taste.
- Other Juices – Experiment with other juices like apple or pomegranate to change things up.
- Healthier – Use diet versions of all the juices and sodas to make it a sugar free and healthy drink, keeping your insulin in check.
