In a large pitcher, combine the peach juice, white rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. Stir well to mix.

Add fruit

Add the sliced peaches to the pitcher, allowing them to soak in the punch for added flavour.

Chill the punch

Refrigerate the punch for at least 1 hour to let the flavours meld.

Pro tip: Chilling enhances the flavour and keeps the punch refreshing.

Add sparkling water

Just before serving, add the chilled sparkling water to the punch and stir gently.
