Hi! If I want to make this as a punch instead of individual cocktails, is it ok to pre-mix the sweet & sour in and dispense drinks throughout the night? Would it still taste ok?

Hi! Unfortunately I don't have a virgin version of this drink. I would try using something along the lines of Mountain Dew or possibly Lemon-Lime Kool Aid and then follow the instructions for the sanding sugar. Thanks!
