Ingredients
For Decorating Glasses:
- ¼ cup red sugar sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup (to rim glasses)
For the Grinch Punch:
- ½ gallon lime sherbet
- 46 oz can pineapple juice, chilled
- 1 gallon green Hawaiian punch, chilled
- 2 liter bottle lemon-lime soda (e.g., 7-Up or Sprite), chilled
Instructions
- Decorate glasses: Use a small paintbrush to brush light corn syrup around the edges of each glass about ⅛ inch wide. Then, dip the edges of each glass into red sugar sprinkles to coat the rim evenly. Set the glasses aside for serving.
- Prepare Grinch Punch base: In a large punch bowl or serving bowl, add the lime sherbet as the base of the punch to give it a creamy and frosty texture and vibrant green color.
- Add pineapple juice and Hawaiian punch: Pour in about half of the chilled pineapple juice can and half of the green Hawaiian punch gallon bottle into the punch bowl, gently stirring to combine with the sherbet.
- Top with soda: Pour the chilled lemon-lime soda over the mixture to add fizz and balance the sweetness. Serve the punch immediately.
- Refill as needed: Throughout the party, replenish the punch bowl with more pineapple juice, Hawaiian punch, and lemon-lime soda as desired to keep the punch fresh and bubbly.
- Store leftovers: Cover and keep any remaining punch refrigerated to maintain freshness for future serving.
Notes
- Light corn syrup helps the sugar sprinkles adhere well to the glass rims.
- Half quantities of pineapple juice and Hawaiian punch are used initially to avoid over dilution and maintain optimal flavor and fizz.
- Use chilled ingredients for best taste and to keep the punch cool without ice melting quickly.
- The punch is best served immediately to enjoy the creamy texture of the sherbet and carbonation of the soda.
