Notes
- To make simple syrup, combine 1 cup of hot water with 1 cup of white sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely and chill before using.
- Use fresh fruit for garnish to add vibrant color and natural flavor to the punch.
- For a less sweet option, reduce the amount of simple syrup to ¾ cup.
- This punch is best served chilled and consumed the same day for optimal freshness.
- You can substitute lemon lime soda with sparkling water for a less sweet, bubbly alternative.
