Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense lime flavor, consider adding fresh lime juice or zest.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover punch in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, it's best to keep the club soda separate until serving to maintain its fizziness. If the punch loses some of its carbonation, you can add more chilled club soda before serving for an extra bubbly refreshment.
