Grinch Punch Recipe

Prep Time: 7 Minutes

Yields: About 305 Ounces or 2.38 Gallons (once the ice cream melts)

List of Ingredients

1 Gallon Green Berry Rush Hawaiian Punch
2 Liters Lemon Lime Soda
46 Ounces Unsweetened Pineapple Juice
½ Gallon Lime Sherbet
Red Sanding Sugar

Items Needed:

Large Punch Bowl Or Pitcher (enough for just shy of 2.5 gallons)
Grinch Toothpicks (optional)
Heart Toothpicks (optional)

Directions:

Place half of the sherbet in the bottom of the punch bowl.
Pour the Hawaiian Punch, pineapple juice, and lemon lime soda over the sherbet.
Place the rest of the lime sherbet, in scoops, on top of the punch.
To rim glasses, scoop a bit of the punch, without foam, onto a small plate and dip the rim of the glasses into it.
Place some red sanding sugar on another small plate or bowl and dip the rim of the glasses in the sugar, making sure they’re fully coated.
Gently pour punch into glasses and enjoy!

Pro Tips

To store, place in a covered container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. For best storage results, skim the top of the punch for any excess ice cream foam or mix the liquids and add sherbet when ready to serve.
The name brand lemon lime soda definitely makes it taste better, but any lemon lime soda works.
If you don’t have a giant punch bowl or don’t have room for one, simply mix all the liquids together and add some of the sherbet to the punch bowl and as it gets low, just keep topping it off with the pre-mixed liquid and some fresh sherbet.
I have used those pineapple juice mixes before instead of regular pineapple juice and it was just as delicious.

Tips and Variations

Make it a Grown-Up Grinch Punch

Add a splash of vodka, rum, or coconut rum for an adults-only version.

Grinch Slush Punch

Freeze part of the pineapple juice and soda mix into ice cubes or slush for a frozen twist.

Holiday Ice Ring

Freeze red and green gummy candies in a bundt pan with a little juice to create a decorative ice ring that floats in your punch bowl!
