Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy watermelons: The quality of your watermelon will greatly impact the flavor of your punch. Pick watermelons that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling your watermelon, fruit juices, and ginger ale before you make the punch will help it stay cold and refreshing.
- Use fresh mint and lime wedges: These ingredients add a pop of freshness and flavor to the punch. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't add the ginger ale until just before serving: Ginger ale will lose its fizz if it sits for too long. Add it to the punch just before serving to keep it bubbly.
- Serve the punch in a large bowl or pitcher: This will make it easy for your guests to serve themselves. You can also garnish the punch with additional mint leaves and lime wedges.
