Add ice cubes, and top with sliced fruit, and herbs.
Serve immediately or within an hour to make sure that it does not go flat.
Notes
Use Chilled Ingredients. I always make sure to put all of the juices and soda in the fridge for at least a few hours before making this punch. This way, you'll be adding less ice and your punch won't be watered down.
Making Ahead. If you want to make this ahead, you can mix everything up except for the soda and the ice a few hours before your party.
