2. Stir in the granulated sugar until fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.

3. Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and cold water. Stir to combine.

4. Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 1 hour to enhance the flavors.

5. Just before serving, add lemon-lime soda or sparkling water for a refreshing fizz.

Chill all ingredients beforehand to reduce the need for extra ice that may water it down.

Don’t add the soda until just before serving to keep the punch bubbly and refreshing.
