Step 1: Chill Your Ingredients

Start by placing your peach nectar, pineapple juice, orange juice, peach schnapps, white rum, and lemon juice in the refrigerator for a few hours. This ensures your punch is served cold without relying solely on ice, preserving its full flavor.

Step 2: Prep the Garnishes

Wash and slice fresh peaches and oranges into thin wheels. Gently rinse the mint sprigs and pat them dry with a paper towel. You can also freeze some peach slices to use as flavorful ice cubes.

Step 3: Combine the Juices and Alcohol

In a large punch bowl or pitcher, pour in the peach nectar, pineapple juice, orange juice, lemon juice, peach schnapps, and white rum. Stir gently but thoroughly to blend the ingredients into a uniform mixture.

Step 4: Add Ice or Frozen Fruit

Right before serving, add ice cubes or frozen peach slices directly to the punch bowl. Frozen fruit is preferable if you want to avoid dilution.

Step 5: Add the Fizz

Top the mixture with lemon-lime soda or sparkling water. Gently stir to incorporate the bubbles without flattening the fizz.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Float the orange wheels and peach slices on top. Add mint sprigs for a burst of aroma and color. Serve in individual glasses over ice, with additional garnish if desired.
