Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Juice lemons fresh the day of serving to maximize citric acid brightness and prevent oxidation.
Chill spirits in the freezer for at least 2 hours before mixing to ensure a properly cold punch without over-diluting.
Use large ice blocks or frozen fruit ice rings in the punch bowl instead of standard cubes to slow dilution during service.
Add carbonated water last, immediately before serving, to retain carbonation and effervescence.

Substitutions

Old Mr. Boston Five Star Brandy → Cognac or VS brandy (higher quality, smoother finish)
Old Mr. Boston Peach Flavored Brandy → peach schnapps (lighter; reduce quantity by 1–2 oz)
Old Mr. Boston Imported Rum → aged rum or light rum (aged adds richness; light keeps brightness)

Storage & make-ahead

Store mixed (non-carbonated) punch base in a sealed container in the refrigerator up to 1 day. Add carbonated water and ice just before serving; consume within 2–3 hours.
