Tips that Might Help You!
- Customize with Your Favorite Fruits: Swap out any fruits you like—peaches, grapes, berries, kiwi, or limes all work well.
- Experiment with Juices: Use different juices like white grape, peach mango, or strawberry lemonade instead of fruit punch.
- Adjust Alcohol Levels: Add more or less vodka, rum, or triple sec according to your preference.
- Prepare in Advance: Mix everything ahead of time and refrigerate for 3-12 hours to let the flavors meld.
- Serve Over Ice: Avoid adding ice directly to the pitcher to prevent dilution—serve over ice in individual glasses instead.
