Good to know

Chef's tip

Make your punch a few hours ahead, or even the day before, so the flavors have time to develop. Right before serving, add the ice cubes to keep the cocktail fully refreshing without diluting it too much.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Not recommended to freeze the punch as is. Can be frozen as individual ice cubes for later use without diluting the drink.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 2 to 3 days max in an airtight bottle or carafe in the refrigerator, without ice cubes or pineapple garnish.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Ideal for developing the flavors. Prepare the liquid mixture the day before, add ice cubes and fresh fruit right before serving.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable, this punch is served cold.

Variations

Garnish with slices of fresh pineapple and lime.
Add the dashes of Angostura bitters last.
Serve over plenty of ice.

Mistakes to avoid

Serving without resting: let it rest 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Putting the ice cubes in the pitcher: add them to the glasses.
Overdoing the grenadine: keep to the amount indicated.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make the punch?

How long should the punch rest?

Cover the container and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours so the flavors can fully develop before serving the punch ice-cold over ice cubes.

Why not put the ice cubes in the pitcher?

The ice cubes would melt and dilute the punch. Add them directly to the glasses when serving, then pour in the ice-cold punch and garnish with the pineapple and lime.
