How to Store Purple Halloween Punch

If you have leftover punch, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to two days. However, if there are any gummy candies or fruit slices in it, it’s best to remove those before storing. To keep the fizz, store the punch without the lemon-lime soda and add it just before serving.
