Grinch Punch
Christmas traditions are so important to our family, and making this each year is something we look forward to. Looking for even more green, Grinch fun? You could also make Grinch Cookies, Grinch Pretzels and Grinch Popcorn. So many festive ways to celebrate our favorite holiday villain.
Grinch Punch
I love hosting themed holiday movie parties and this one is perfect for watching How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The kids and I like to grab a big bowl of popcorn and pair it with a candy that matches the movie we’re watching in some way. It can be the color or the theme. For instance, for the Grinch, we would probably top it with green and red M&Ms. (Which just so happen to be super easy to find in December.)
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Lime Sherbet. Did you sherbet is sorbet but with cream added? I just found that out and it’s always been one of my favorite treats.
- Green Berry Rush Hawaiian Punch. You’ll find this in the juice section with the usual red and blue punch options.
- Sprite. To save on some sugar intake, you can use Sprite zero.
- Pineapple Juice. Using this adds a really great tropical flavor but I have made this drink without it, so it’s optional if pineapple isn’t your thing.
- Red Sugar Sprinkles. This is just to rim the glass so you can skip if if you need to.
Also, I wanted to share how I did the Grinch Pitcher. I got this Pitcher on Amazon. I purchased Grinch Face Decals on Etsy HERE and added little heart decals to the glasses.
Grinch Punch Recipe
If you’ve ever made a punch recipe before, this will look pretty familiar. The basics are all here: soda, juice and ice cream. Once you’ve made it once or twice, you’ll remember it forever.
- Scoop. Dish out the sherbet into a punch bowl or large pitcher. This doesn’t have to be perfectly uniform or pretty.
- Pour. Then, pour half of your juices and half of your Sprite over the sherbet.
- Rim. If you want to rim your glass, just pour some sugar in a dish, dip your glass into some water then dip into the sugar. Feel free to skip this step if you’d like.
Note: This recipe doesn’t keep so drink up and just toss what you don’t use.

Very good loved it
Love this.. So cute
maybe just add a little green food coloring.
I can’t find lime sherbert.  Any idea of an alternate?  But still keep green color?
Me neither, I’m going to try Pineapples Sherbert because it’s a lighter color.
I had to get the rainbow sherbet.. lime, orange, and raspberry
I found lime sherbert but my God was that certain flavor of Hawaiian punch hard to find i do live in a very rural area i had to drive an hour but I found it !
Delicious!!!
Do you use half of the sherbet as well so you are making the pic I two times in the Grinch pitcher
Plan to make this for the Christmas party for my Special Needs class. One of my kids totally loves the Grinch <3
Could I use 7up instead of Sprite or is there a difference?
No difference I’m sure. My grocery store was out of the 2 liter sprites and I used the store brand lemon lime soda and it turned out great.
I couldn’t find lime sherbet so I used one can of frozen limeade found in the frozen section. It turned out great!!!
Can’t find Lime sherbet at any of our stores. Â Considering Vanilla ice cream, limeade, or rainbow sherbet. Â Does anyone have an opinion which would work best?
Our store was out so we used rainbow and it was great!
Made this today for christmas. The store didn’t have lime sherbert so I substituted rainbow and honestly it gave it that darker dirty looking green from Jim Carey grinch movie.
