Notes
- Use sparkling white grape juice to add natural sweetness and bubbliness without overpowering the flavors.
- Blue food coloring should be added gradually to achieve the perfect pastel shade.
- Edible glitter used is safe for consumption and adds to the visual appeal, enhancing the festive spirit.
- If an ice ring is used, prepare it in advance to keep the punch chilled longer without dilution.
- Rock candy sticks also add a subtle sweetness as they dissolve and serve as an attractive garnish.
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the effervescent quality of the soda and sparkling juice.
