FAQs

Can I make this punch ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the juice base and spices in advance and refrigerate. Add the lemon-lime soda and garnishes just before serving to keep it fresh and fizzy.

You can substitute ground allspice, using about 1/4 teaspoon, or omit it; the punch will still have great flavor from the other spices and juices.
