Can I make Grinch Punch ahead of time?

You can combine the pineapple juice and green fruit punch a few hours in advance and keep them chilled. However, for the best fizz and frothy effect, don't add the lemon-lime soda and lime sherbet until just before serving. This ensures your Grinch Punch is perfectly bubbly and fresh.

How do I make Grinch Punch alcoholic?

To create an adult version of Grinch Punch, consider adding 1-2 cups of white rum, vodka, or even coconut rum to the punch mixture. Add it before the sherbet and soda. Adjust to your taste preferences, and always serve responsibly. You can also make a separate adult batch to ensure it's clearly marked.

What other garnishes can I use for Grinch Punch?

Get creative with your Grinch Punch garnishes! Besides maraschino cherries and lime slices, you can add gummy candies shaped like hearts, green and red candy cane pieces, or even a dusting of edible glitter. Green rock candy sticks also make a fantastic, festive stirrer.

What if I can't find lime sherbet?

While lime sherbet is ideal for its color and flavor, if you can't find it, you can substitute with lemon-lime sorbet or even vanilla ice cream if you don't mind a less intense green color. For a stronger lime flavor, add a splash of fresh lime juice to the punch mixture.

Instructions

Step 1: In a large punch bowl, combine the chilled lemon-lime soda, chilled pineapple juice, and chilled green fruit punch. Stir gently to combine without losing too much of the fizz.
Step 2: Scoop generous amounts of lime sherbet into the punch. The sherbet will float on top, creating a beautiful frothy, green, and slightly creamy layer. You can add more sherbet as needed throughout the party.
Step 3: For an extra festive touch, garnish the punch with maraschino cherries (to represent the Grinch's heart, of course!) and fresh lime slices.
Step 4: Serve immediately into individual glasses. For an extra festive rim, wet the rim of each serving glass and dip it into red sanding sugar before pouring the Grinch Punch. Enjoy your merry concoction!

Notes

For the best fizz and frothy topping, add the lime sherbet just before serving. If making for a large crowd, keep additional ingredients chilled and replenish the punch bowl as needed. The flavors will be best when served cold.
