- Sweeten the punch: If desired, add honey or sugar to the juice mixture and stir well, adjusting the sweetness according to your preference.

Notes
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or sugar according to taste.
- Use lemon-lime soda for a sweeter, more citrus-forward flavor instead of ginger ale.
- To make it extra festive, consider adding a sprig of fresh mint for aroma and color.
- The punch can be prepared ahead but add the ginger ale just before serving to maintain carbonation.
- Serves well chilled or over ice cubes to keep it cool during serving.
