- Make a ring of frozen orange crush to float on top of the punch.

Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter punch, consider adding a splash of pineapple juice or grenadine. You can also substitute cream soda with lemon-lime soda for a different flavor profile. If you can't find frozen orange juice concentrate, fresh orange juice can work, but the flavor may be less intense. Chill all ingredients beforehand for a refreshing experience.
Serving Suggestions
This punch is perfect for gatherings of 18 to 22 people. Serve it in a large punch bowl with cups on the side. Add some fruit slices, like oranges or lemons, for garnish. It pairs beautifully with snacks such as chips and dip or even a slice of Mountain Pound Cake for a delightful combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover punch in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain its fizziness, avoid mixing all the soda in advance; keep the cream soda separate until serving. If the punch becomes flat, you can add some fresh soda just before serving to revive it.
