Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 gallon Green Berry Rush Hawaiian Punch
- 46 ounces pineapple juice
- 1 liter Sprite or 7Up
- red sanding sugar optional
- lime sherbet optional
Instructions
- Start by gathering your ingredients: Green Berry Rush Hawaiian Punch, pineapple juice, and Sprite. Pour the first three ingredients into a large punch bowl or pitcher, carefully measuring as you go. You want to mix them well to ensure that all the flavors come together nicely.
- After combining the liquids, take a moment to give everything a good stir. Use a large spoon or ladle to mix them thoroughly. As you stir, notice how the colors blend, creating a vibrant green that’s just perfect for the holidays. This is where the fun begins!
- Once the mixture is well combined, it’s time to chill. You can either chill the punch for about 30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator or chill the individual ingredients beforehand. This way, when you serve it, it will be nice and cold, ready to refresh your guests.
- When you’re ready to serve, scoop some lime sherbet right into the punch. The sherbet will float on top, creating a beautiful frothy layer. You’ll love how it gradually melts into the punch, adding a creamy texture and a hint of lime that complements the sweet flavors.
- If you want to go the extra mile, consider rimming your glasses with red sanding sugar. To do this, pour a little Sprite into a small bowl and place the sanding sugar in another bowl. Dip the rim of each glass into the Sprite first, then into the sugar. This gives each glass a beautiful, festive look.
- Pour the punch into the prepared glasses, ensuring each one gets a good amount of the lime sherbet and the fizzy mixture. You can even garnish with a Maraschino cherry or some cranberries on top for an extra touch of holiday spirit.
- As you serve, enjoy the excitement on your guests' faces as they take their first sip. The refreshing and bubbly Grinch Punch is sure to be a hit, bringing smiles and laughter all around.
- After the party, store any leftover punch in the fridge. You can cover the punch bowl with plastic wrap to keep it fresh. Just remember that the lime sherbet may lose its frothy texture over time, but the flavors will still be delicious!
- Lastly, don’t forget to share the love! Encourage guests to take the recipe home and recreate this delightful drink for their own gatherings. It’s the perfect way to spread holiday cheer!
