Pro Tips

✅ Make it even more fun by serving in clear cups with red and white striped straws!
✅ For an adult version, add a splash of rum or vodka.
Tools You’ll Need
- Large punch bowl
- Ladle
- Measuring cup
- Ice cream scoop
Substitutions & Variations
- No Hawaiian Punch? Use green Kool-Aid mixed with water and sugar.
- No sherbet? Vanilla ice cream works, but it will change the color slightly.
- Want it less sweet? Use more soda and less juice.
Make-Ahead Tips
- Mix the punch, soda, and pineapple juice ahead of time and keep it in the fridge.
- Wait to add the sherbet and garnishes until right before serving.
How to Make Grinch Punch
Step 1: Mix the Base
Pour the green Hawaiian Punch, lemon-lime soda, and pineapple juice into a large punch bowl. Stir gently to combine.
Step 2: Add the Sherbet
Scoop in the lime sherbet right before serving. It will float on top and start to melt, creating a fun foamy texture.
Step 3: Garnish & Serve
Ladle the punch into cups. Sprinkle a little red sugar on top and add a maraschino cherry if you like. Serve with festive straws!
Leftovers & Storage
- Best enjoyed fresh! The fizz fades over time.
- If you do have leftovers, store them in the fridge, but expect it to be a little flat.
- You can freeze the leftover punch into popsicles for a fun treat later!

It’s easy, delicious, and guaranteed to make any party more cheerful.
