Ingredients Needed

You only need 4 ingredients to make this festive Grinch punch! It’s so simple but will have the kids (and adults) raving! For all measurements, check out the recipe card below.

  • Hawaiian Punch: I used green Hawaiian Punch for the perfect Grinch color. The green Hawaiian Punch is kiwi strawberry flavor which is so refreshing! If you can’t find this flavor of Hawaiian Punch, you can also use lemon lime Kool Aid to achieve this green color.
  • Sprite: To make this drink nice and bubbly. You can also use 7-UP or ginger ale! I always use diet or zero sugar soda to keep this drink from being too sugary.
  • Lime Sherbet: In my opinion, this is what makes Grinch punch so good. It makes the drink creamy, frothy, and gives it tasty lime flavor! Combined with the Hawaiian Punch and sliced strawberries, this Grinch punch will have your taste buds singing. If you want your Grinch punch to be creamier, you can use vanilla ice cream instead. This will make it taste more like a float.
  • Strawberries: You really can’t go wrong with fresh strawberries in your drink. I cut them into the shape of a heart for a little added Christmas cheer!

How to Make Boozy Grinch Punch

This Grinch punch is non-alcoholic and kid-friendly, but if you want to make a pitcher for the adults, feel free to add a splash of vodka, rum, or swap out the Sprite for prosecco or champagne.

Decorating Your Glasses

To really impress your guests this holiday season, try decorating your glasses! Just before serving, dip the rim of a glass into corn syrup, then dip into red sanding sugar, green sanding sugar, or holiday sprinkles!

Storing Leftovers

This Grinch punch is best served immediately. This way, the sherbet is nice and frothy and the soda pop still has the perfect amount of fizz. It will last in the fridge in an airtight pitcher for about 2 hours. The longer it sits, the soda may go flat.
