Equipment
- Large Punch Bowl
- Ladle
- Measuring cups
- Mixing Spoon
- Ice Scoop (optional)
- Glasses or Cups
Ingredients
For the Grinch Punch Base:
- 4 cups lime sherbet
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 2 cups lemon-lime soda
- 1 cup coconut rum
- 1/2 cup melon liqueur optional, for extra green color
For Garnish:
- Maraschino cherries
- Fresh lime slices
- Candy canes or holiday-themed stirrers
Instructions
Prepare the Punch Base
- Scoop the lime sherbet into your large punch bowl.
- Pour in the pineapple juice slowly, mixing gently with a spoon to combine.
- Pro tip: Stir carefully so the sherbet doesn’t melt too quickly—it creates a creamy, frothy texture instead of a watery punch.
Add the Alcohol
- Pour in the coconut rum and, if using, the melon liqueur.
- Stir gently until fully incorporated.
- Pro tip: Taste as you go! You can add a little more rum if you like a stronger adult Christmas punch, but don’t overdo it—the lime sherbet already adds sweetness.
Incorporate the Soda
- Slowly pour in the lemon-lime soda.
- Stir just enough to combine. The soda will make the punch fizzy and festive.
- Pro tip: Pour slowly to preserve the bubbles—this keeps your Grinch cocktail recipe lively and fun.
Add Ice and Garnishes
- Add a few handfuls of ice to keep the punch chilled.
- Float lime slices and maraschino cherries on top.
- Optional: Hang candy canes around the rim or use holiday-themed stirrers for extra flair.
Serve and Enjoy
- Ladle into individual glasses or cups.
- Encourage guests to grab a garnish with their glass for a festive touch.
- Watch as everyone’s eyes light up—the bright green Grinch punch is irresistible!
