Note
For a less sweet version, use diet ginger ale or reduce the amount of ginger ale used.
Ensure strawberries are fully thawed before mashing for easier mixing.
You can garnish individual glasses with fresh strawberry slices or grapefruit wedges.
If making ahead, prepare the fruit mixture and refrigerate. Add the ginger ale and ice just before serving to keep it fizzy.
For a spiked version, add vodka or rum for an adult punch variation.
