Step 4: Garnish & Serve 🍊🍑🍒
Top the punch with slices of orange, peach, and a handful of maraschino cherries. For a touch of elegance, toss in fresh mint leaves or edible flowers. Serve in glasses filled with ice and a slice of fruit for a colorful presentation.
Step 5: Optional – Make It Boozy 🍹
For an adult version, stir in 1–2 cups of peach schnapps, coconut rum, or white rum before adding the soda. Adjust to your taste and ensure it stays well mixed.
