How do I store leftover Tropical Guava and Ginger Non-Alcoholic Punch?
Refrigerate any leftover tropical guava and ginger non-alcoholic punch in a sealed pitcher or jar for up to 3–4 days. Do not reheat — drinks are served chilled. If the recipe uses sparkling water or fresh herbs, hold those back and add fresh just before pouring so the drink stays bright and fizzy.
