Note
For best flavor, chill all ingredients, especially the ginger ale, before mixing.
If you prefer a less sweet punch, use diet ginger ale or reduce the amount of pink lemonade concentrate.
This punch tastes best when served immediately. If stored in the refrigerator, the ginger ale will go flat, so add it right before serving.
You can substitute fresh strawberries for frozen if available, but ensure they are hulled and sliced if you want smaller pieces in the drink.
Garnish individual glasses with a fresh strawberry slice or a mint sprig for an elegant presentation.
