Storage Tips
Keep your Black Cat Blackberry Cooler Punch fresh and tasty! 🍹
Refrigerate Properly:
Once made, I store the punch in the fridge. A sealed container is best to keep it fresh. This way, it can last for about 2-3 days.
Freeze Extra:
If there’s extra punch, I pour it into ice cube trays and freeze. Later, these can be used to cool down the drink without watering it down!
Separate Liquids and Garnishes:
When storing, I keep basil leaves and blackberries in a separate container. This stops them from getting too soggy in the punch.
Prepare for Later:
If I want to make the punch in advance, I store the mixture without ice. I add ice cubes just before serving to keep it chilled.
Cheers to enjoying a refreshing cooler whenever I want! 🌟

Tips & Tricks
Mix the Magic ✨
I love to make this punch extra special by using fresh blackberries. They really pop with flavor!

I always chill the glasses in the freezer for a couple of minutes before serving. This helps make every sip refreshing.
