# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like summer arrived early, and you can make the whole batch in less time than it takes to chill the glasses.
  • Nobody has to choose between a cocktail and a punch bowl moment—this delivers both without fussy layer work or special equipment.
  • The frozen strawberries keep everything cold without turning watery, which is the kind of small genius detail that makes people think you've been planning this for hours.
02 -
  • Fresh lime juice makes an enormous difference—I made this once with bottled lime juice to save time, and it tasted like I'd grabbed something off a supermarket shelf instead of something I'd actually crafted.
  • Adding the club soda at the very end is essential; if you mix it in too early or let it sit, you're left with something that tastes flat and tired instead of bright and alive.
03 -
  • Freeze a batch of this punch in ice cube trays ahead of time so you can make individual pitcher refills throughout the party—it's a small detail that keeps everything cold and tasty.
  • If you're serving this for more than two hours, add the sparkling water just before guests arrive rather than mixing it in at the start, so the fizz doesn't fade into flatness.
