Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter punch, you can increase the sugar or use a fruit-flavored sparkling water instead of lemon-lime beverage. If you're looking to reduce sugar, consider using a sugar substitute that measures cup-for-cup like erythritol. Ensure the jello is completely dissolved before adding other ingredients for a smooth texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this punch ahead of time?
Absolutely! This punch can be made a day or two in advance. Simply prepare it as directed, freeze it until firm, then serve as needed. Just remember to let it sit out for a few minutes before serving to make scooping easier.
Can I use fresh peaches instead of jello?
Yes, you can use fresh pureed peaches for a more natural flavor. However, this may alter the texture slightly. You may want to adjust the sugar and acidity levels to match the sweetness of the jello. Consider adding a bit of lemon juice for balance.
