  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as mint, basil, or rosemary, can add a nice flavor to the punch. Simply muddle them with the cucumbers before adding the other ingredients.
  • Garnish with cucumber slices: When serving the punch, garnish it with cucumber slices, lemon wedges, or lime wedges. This will add a touch of elegance and make the punch more visually appealing.
