Notes
- You can easily scale up this recipe depending on the size of your gathering.
- The frozen peaches act as ice cubes without watering down the punch. They can be frozen well ahead of time (up to 6 months). If you choose to freeze them ahead, you can freeze them on the baking sheet first and then transfer them to a freezer bag and back into the freezer, so that they don't stick together.
- You will need to ensure that your sparkling wine and ginger ale are chilled. This can all be prepped the night before or within an hour of serving.
- The prepared punch can be refrigerated for up to 3 to 5 days. Keep in mind that it will lose much of its carbonation by then.
- Once the fizzy has been poured into the punch bowl, it will start to lose its carbonation after 2 to 3 hours.
- It is best to pour the carbonated liquids into the punch right before serving it to your guests so that it lasts for at least a couple of hours while serving.
