Green Grinch Punch Simple Ingredients

My grinch drink recipe is a bright green color and we decorate the rim of a glass with a thin layer of red sugar for a fun twist and a festive finishing touch. This is not boozy Grinch punch, folks. It’s a kid-friendly version.

• 1 half-gallon lime sherbet
• 1 gallon green Hawaiian Punch drink, buy here
• 1 (46-ounce) can of pineapple juice
• 1 2-liter lemon-lime soda
• Water
• Red sanding sugar, optional–buy here

Grinch Punch Recipe

Step 1 Adding Sanding Sugar to the glass rim

Prepare the glasses by inverting them and dipping the rim into the water. Allow excess water to drip off.

Pour your sanding sugar into a bowl with a wide enough rim for the glass to fit into.

Then dip the rim of the glass into the sanding sugar. Place the glasses upright and allow the sanding sugar to dry as the punch is prepared.

Step 2

Scoop the sherbet into the bottom of an extra-large punch bowl. A spring-loaded ice cream scooper, like this one, works well to make nice rounded balls of sherbet for your frothy green beverage.

Step 3

Slowly pour half of the Hawaiian Punch over the sherbet followed by half of the pineapple juice and finally half of the soda. Repeat those steps again to use the rest of the beverages. Stir gently to combine. The mixture will be foamy on top.

You are going to love the flavor of Grinch punch with pineapple juice. It is lip-smacking and delicious.

Step 4

Carefully spoon the festive Christmas punch into your prepared glasses. Serve and enjoy!

Serve this festive holiday punch in a pretty punch bowl for parties. It is a striking part of your table decorations.

Your Christmas punch is a creamy citrus dessert drink everyone loves. It is the perfect addition to Grinch movie night at Christmas time.

Substitutions

There are many versions of this traditional sherbet punch recipe and you will see lots of them all over Pinterest for sure. Try any of these substitutions if you like.

• Ginger ale instead of lemon-lime soda
• Lemon-lime Kool-Aid works too but it isn’t bubbly
