Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (2 liter) bottle Sprite
  • 1 gallon Green Hawaiian fruit punch
  • Red sanding sugar (optional, for rimming glasses)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a large punch bowl, spoon in the lime sherbet to create a creamy foundation for the punch.
  2. Add Liquids: Pour half of the Sprite and half of the Hawaiian fruit punch over the lime sherbet in the bowl.
  3. Mix the Punch: Gently stir the sherbet and liquids together until combined and slightly frothed, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
  4. Optional Glass Decoration: To decorate the glasses, dip the rim of each glass into a plate of water and then into red sanding sugar. This creates a festive red rim that looks beautiful and adds a sweet texture.
  5. Serve: Spoon the Grinch Punch into the prepared glasses and serve immediately for best fizz and flavor.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic beverage perfect for all ages, this punch is a great choice for holiday parties and themed events.
  • The red sanding sugar rim is optional but highly recommended for a striking holiday color contrast.
  • Chill the punch ingredients before serving to keep the drink cold longer without diluting the flavors.
  • You can substitute lemon-lime soda for Sprite if preferred, but Sprite provides the right sweetness and fizz.
  • Serve immediately after mixing to enjoy the best fizz and texture from the sherbet and soda.
