Note
Ensure all carbonated ingredients (ginger ale, tonic water, champagne) are well-chilled before mixing to keep the punch refreshing and fizzy.
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the champagne with additional ginger ale or sparkling grape juice.
This recipe yields approximately 7 quarts of punch, which is substantial for a large gathering.
This punch is best served immediately. If preparing ahead, mix the juice and water base and refrigerate. Add the carbonated elements only when ready to serve to prevent flatness.
