Description
The Green Grinch Christmas Punch is a vibrant, festive drink that combines the tropical sweetness of pineapple juice with the zesty sparkle of lemon-lime soda. The creamy lime sherbet adds a delightful texture, creating a luscious, frothy topping that dances on your palate with every sip.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups pineapple juice
- 2 cups lemon-lime soda or ginger ale
- 1 cup lime sherbet
- ½ cup green melon liqueur or Midori (optional for adult version)
- Ice cubes
- Optional Garnishes:
- Maraschino cherries
- Lime slices
- Green sugar or sprinkles for rim
Instructions
- In a large punch bowl, combine the pineapple juice and lemon-lime soda or ginger ale.
- Add the lime sherbet, stirring gently until it begins to melt and create a frothy texture.
- If using, pour in the green melon liqueur or Midori and mix well.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and ladle the punch over the ice.
- Garnish with maraschino cherries, lime slices, and rim the glasses with green sugar or sprinkles if desired.
Notes
- This punch can be made ahead of time; simply mix the juices and soda, and add the sherbet just before serving to maintain its frothy texture.
- Store any leftover punch in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but note that the carbonation may diminish.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the green melon liqueur and consider adding more sherbet for extra creaminess.
