Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover punch in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If the punch has been mixed with ginger ale, it may lose its carbonation quickly, so it's best to consume it within 24 hours. To revive the freshness, you can add more ginger ale just before serving the leftovers.
