The best way to serve Whisky Punch is in a lowball glass over ice. You can pre-chill the glasses in the freezer for a couple of minutes to keep the punch colder for longer. Serving it immediately after preparation ensures it remains refreshing. For larger gatherings, consider using a punch bowl with a large ice block to keep it chilled without diluting the punch quickly.
