Variations Ideas

The lime sherbet and Hawaiian punch make a really easy green punch recipe for your next Christmas party or your next holiday party. It is optional but you can add pineapple juice or orange juice if you prefer for a tangier punch.

Another option is to add food coloring if you prefer a really green color punch or more of a green apple color. You can also use lemon lime kool aid or lemon lime soda instead of the Hawaiian punch.

To make it extra pretty consider adding fresh cranberries and serving it with orange slices to make adorable grinch cocktails for the adults.

I’m sure you are used to using cranberry juice for Christmas drinks, but this Grinch drink will not disappoint. Just use what you have and keep it simple. This is so delicious and so easy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Make Ahead of Time?

Mix fruit punch and soda right before serving so it stays fizzy. Sherbet can be added just before guests arrive.

How to Store Leftovers

This punch is best served right when it is made. If you do have leftover punch, store in a large pitcher and place in the refrigerator.
