Ingredients Needed

You only need 4 ingredients to make this festive Grinch punch! It’s so simple but will have the kids (and adults) raving! For all measurements, check out the recipe card below.

• Hawaiian Punch: I used green Hawaiian Punch for the perfect Grinch color. The green Hawaiian Punch is kiwi strawberry flavor which is so refreshing! If you can’t find this flavor of Hawaiian Punch, you can also use lemon lime Kool Aid to achieve this green color.
• Sprite: To make this drink nice and bubbly. You can also use 7-UP or ginger ale! I always use diet or zero sugar soda to keep this drink from being too sugary.
• Lime Sherbet: In my opinion, this is what makes Grinch punch so good. It makes the drink creamy, frothy, and gives it tasty lime flavor! Combined with the Hawaiian Punch and sliced strawberries, this Grinch punch will have your taste buds singing. If you want your Grinch punch to be creamier, you can use vanilla ice cream instead. This will make it taste more like a float.
• Strawberries: You really can’t go wrong with fresh strawberries in your drink. I cut them into the shape of a heart for a little added Christmas cheer!
