FAQs

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?

Fresh strawberries, mint leaves, or citrus slices make great garnishes.

Can I add alcohol to make it stronger?

Yes! A splash of vodka or rum can add an extra kick.

How can I make this punch fancier?

Serve in champagne flutes with a sugar-rimmed glass for an elegant presentation.

Can I use flavored champagne?

Absolutely! A strawberry or peach-flavored champagne would enhance the fruity notes.

What’s a good substitute for ginger ale?

Lemon-lime soda, club soda, or tonic water work well as alternatives.
