How to Serve Caribbean Rum Punch
Caribbean Rum Punch is best served cold. Pour the punch into glasses filled with ice and top each drink with a slice of fresh fruit. This not only makes the drink look beautiful but also adds a nice touch of flavor. It’s a great idea to prepare this punch just before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant.
How to Store Caribbean Rum Punch
If you have leftover Caribbean Rum Punch, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It’s best to keep it in a sealed container to maintain its freshness. However, if you added fresh fruit, it’s better to consume it within a day to avoid the fruit losing its texture and flavor.
