Make the punch a few hours in advance. Place mint leavers in the container that you're preparing the drink in and bruise them with a wooden spoon or muddler. Add ingredients and stir well. When leaving for the picnic remove the mint leaves and pour the punch into a thermos. Add two cups of very cold dense large ice cubes. Screw the top on thermos and shake vigorously. Serve over ice and garnish with mint sprigs. (If you store the mint in a jar of water with ice cubes, it will remain fresh.
