Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Make-Ahead Magic: This punch can be made up to a day in advance. Just omit adding the soda water until you’re ready to serve for the freshest taste.
- Frozen Treat: For a slushy variation, freeze the juice mixture in ice cube trays and blend with ice when you’re ready to enjoy.
- Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have mango juice on hand, try peach or passionfruit juice for a delightful alternative.
- Storing Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, store them in the fridge in a sealed container for up to two days. Just remember to add the soda water fresh at serving!
