1. Prep the Ingredients

Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your limeade concentrate is thawed so it blends smoothly. If you’re planning to garnish, slice up a lime or two and have your mint leaves ready.

2. Blend the Base

• In a blender, combine the limeade concentrate, cold water, and ice cubes.
• Blend until the mixture becomes a smooth slush. Depending on your blender’s power, you might need to stop and stir a couple of times to ensure everything blends evenly.

3. Add the Fizz

• Pour the slushy limeade mixture into a large punch bowl or pitcher. Slowly add the lemon-lime soda, stirring gently to maintain the fizz.
• If you’re adding any optional ingredients like pineapple juice or crushed strawberries, mix them in at this stage.

4. Taste and Adjust

• Give your punch a quick taste test. If you like it sweeter, feel free to add a splash of simple syrup. Prefer it tarter? A squeeze of fresh lime juice does the trick.

5. Garnish and Serve

• Serve immediately in chilled glasses. Garnish each glass with a lime slice and a sprig of fresh mint for that extra-special touch. If you’re serving in a punch bowl, float lime slices and mint leaves on top for a festive presentation.
