Tips & Notes:
- Freezer Time: Remember to plan ahead for the freezing time, as it takes a couple of days for the punch to solidify.
- Serving Suggestions: Garnish with lime slices or fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the slushy mixture well in advance and keep it in the freezer until you’re ready to serve. Just remember to thaw slightly before adding the 7-Up.
- Variations: Feel free to experiment with different flavors of soda for a fun twist! Sprite, lemon-lime soda, or even ginger ale can work wonders.
