# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours creating something fancy when you actually spent ten minutes in your kitchen, which is the best kind of kitchen magic.
  • Everyone drinks it, from the kids to the grown-ups who sneak a splash of something stronger into their glass, making it genuinely crowd-pleasing.
02 -
  • Never add the sparkling element until you're actually ready to serve or you'll be looking at a sad, flat punch by the time your guests show up.
  • Freeze some of your juice into ice cubes beforehand so the punch doesn't get watered down as the ice melts, which I learned the hard way when I served watery punch to people I really wanted to impress.
03 -
  • Those frozen juice cubes are the secret that separates homemade punch from the kind that tastes like it came from a two-liter bottle, so don't skip this step.
  • Taste your punch as you build it and adjust the tartness with more cranberry juice or the sweetness with extra lemonade, because every batch of fruit is slightly different in flavor.
