# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It strikes that perfect balance between tart and sweet that keeps guests coming back for just one more glass
  • You can mix everything ahead of time and add the fizz right before serving, leaving you free to actually enjoy your own party
02 -
  • I learned the hard way that adding the sparkling ingredients too early makes for a sad flat punch by the time guests arrive
  • The rose water is potent stuff and a tiny bit goes a long way so start with just a quarter teaspoon and taste
03 -
  • Chill your punch bowl or pitcher in the freezer for 20 minutes before adding anything to keep drinks colder longer
  • If making an adult version add the alcohol to individual glasses rather than the whole batch so everyone can choose their preference
