Ingredients
Scale

- 1 liter pineapple juice
- 2 liters lemon-lime soda
- 1 liter lime sherbet
Flavoring and Mix-ins:
- 1 packet (0.13 ounces / 3.69 grams) lime-flavored drink mix
Garnish and Optional Extras:
- Red sanding sugar or red sugar crystals
- Honey or corn syrup
Instructions
- Craft a whimsical festive rim by delicately brushing glass edges with golden nectar, then rolling in vibrant crimson crystalline sugar for a playful holiday presentation, allowing them to air-dry and set.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, harmoniously blend effervescent citrus soda, tropical pineapple essence, and zesty lime-infused elixir, gently stirring until powdered components completely dissolve into a smooth, unified liquid.
- Introduce generous dollops of tangy lime-tinted frozen dairy confection into the liquid mixture, watching as the creamy scoops interact and transform the beverage into a frothy, otherworldly concoction with mesmerizing green undertones.
- Carefully ladle the magical emerald elixir into adorned glassware, ensuring each serving captures the whimsical foam and vibrant color characteristic of this Grinch-inspired libation.
- For optimal enjoyment, serve the punch immediately while the sherbet maintains its ethereal, foamy texture and the temperature remains refreshingly cool.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of lime-flavored drink mix for those who prefer less sugary beverages.
- Create a non-alcoholic version by keeping the current ingredients, which already make a kid-friendly punch.
- Prepare sherbet scoops in advance and freeze them on a lined baking sheet to prevent melting when adding to the punch.
- Enhance the Grinch theme by garnishing with small green candy sprinkles or a maraschino cherry to represent the Grinch’s heart growing.
