– You can add some honey for extra sweetness, if you like.
– You can top off the glasses with a splash of ginger ale for some fizz and spice.
– You can make a fruit ice mold by freezing some pineapple juice and fruit pieces in a bundt pan, and then add it to the punch bowl for a festive touch.
– You can use coconut water instead of plain water to add more coconut flavor and electrolytes to the punch.
