# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under ten minutes, which means you can spend more time with guests instead of stuck in the kitchen.
  • The natural pink color is stunning without any food dye, so it looks like you put in way more effort than you actually did.
  • It's vegan and gluten-free by nature, so you're never worried about dietary restrictions ruining the party mood.
02 -
  • Add the sparkling element only right before serving, otherwise you'll have flat punch sitting around wishing it could fizz again.
  • If you're making this ahead, prepare everything except the soda or sparkling water, which you add last—this way it stays crisp and lively when guests arrive.
03 -
  • Hull your strawberries with the tip of a paring knife or a strawberry huller rather than hacking at them, so they stay whole and pretty.
  • Slice your lemons thin enough to be flexible but thick enough that they don't fall apart in the juice—it's a tiny calibration that makes a big difference.
