FAQs
Can I prepare this punch in advance?
It’s best to prepare the punch right before serving because the prosecco will lose its fizz if it sits too long. You can mix the juices and add the garnishes beforehand.
What can I use instead of grenadine?
If you don’t have grenadine, you can use raspberry syrup or pomegranate juice to achieve a similar sweetness and color.
Can I make this punch without alcohol?
Yes! Just replace the prosecco with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda for a refreshing non-alcoholic punch.
