- Swap ginger ale with sparkling water for a lighter, less sugary version suitable for health-conscious guests.
- Prep the punch base ahead of time and refrigerate, adding the fizzy ginger ale just before serving to maintain maximum carbonation.
- Create an adult version by mixing in a complementary spirit like vodka or rum for a festive cocktail twist.
