Can I substitute ingredients in Citrus-Ginger Sparkling Sunrise Punch?

How do I scale Citrus-Ginger Sparkling Sunrise Punch for a different number of people?
The recipe is written for 8 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 8). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
