Description
Green Grinch Punch is a vibrant, festive drink that captures the spirit of the holidays with its bright green hue and refreshing flavors. The fizzy lemon-lime soda combined with sweet pineapple juice creates a delightful balance, while the optional lime sherbet adds a creamy texture that makes each sip feel like a holiday treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups lemon-lime soda (chilled)
- 2 cups pineapple juice (chilled)
- 1 cup green Hawaiian punch or green fruit punch
- 1–2 drops green food coloring (adjust for Grinch-green color)
- Lime sherbet or vanilla ice cream (optional, for float)
- Ice cubes
- Garnish: lime slices, green sanding sugar, or maraschino cherries
Instructions
- In a large punch bowl, combine the chilled lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, and green Hawaiian punch.
- Add 1–2 drops of green food coloring, stirring gently until the desired Grinch-green color is achieved.
- If using, scoop lime sherbet or vanilla ice cream into serving glasses.
- Pour the punch over the sherbet or ice cream, allowing it to float on top.
- Add ice cubes to each glass to keep the punch cold.
- Garnish with lime slices, sprinkle with green sanding sugar, or top with maraschino cherries for a festive touch.
Notes
- This punch can be made ahead of time; just combine the juices and soda, and add the food coloring right before serving to maintain the fizz.
- Store any leftover punch in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but note that the soda may lose its fizz.
- For a non-alcoholic version, ensure all ingredients are alcohol-free.
