# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It actually gets better as it sits, not watered down, because the frozen strawberries work harder than any ice cube ever could.
  • You can make it ahead, throw everything in the bowl, and literally walk away—no last-minute panic or standing over a stove.
  • Whether your crowd drinks alcohol or not, one punch bowl serves everyone without making anyone feel left out.
02 -
  • Don't add your frozen strawberries until the very last second before serving, or they'll melt too fast and water everything down—timing is everything.
  • If you muddle a few of the fresh strawberries before adding the liquids, you get deeper, more intense flavor that makes people wonder what your secret ingredient is (it's just patience).
03 -
  • Slice your limes thin enough to see through, because thin slices actually squeeze their oils into the punch as people grab them, making the flavor better as the gathering goes on.
  • Keep your rum, club soda, and sparkling water in the coldest part of your fridge the night before, so the punch stays refreshing without relying entirely on the frozen strawberries to do the cooling work.
