Grinch Punch is a fun family drink to make with the kids at Christmas. All you need is four ingredients and about 2 minutes and you’re all set for a new holiday treat. It’s a cross between a drink and a dessert.
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.

Okay I have one more question and this should be my last one I’m so sorry for all the trouble. For making it an adult drink besides vodka being the best choice would blue Curacao work with it
No trouble at all! For an adult version, vodka or rum would be your best choices. Blue curacao may add some citrus flavor but will also change the color of the punch.
Can you help me with figuring out how much I would need of all the ingredients for a 5 gallon container I’m pretty horrible at math and it keeps sounding incorrect for me
Hi Forrest. If you double the recipe it will yield 4.75 gallons.
Thanks I knew I was doing something wrong lol
Use this every year with the kids for their Grinchmas Party!
Thanks Michael & Erin!
Do you have an alcoholic version of this recipe? I’m not sure if it will mix well with rum and sherbet
Hi Temeka. Vodka would probably be your best option to make this into an adult punch. I would try between 1 1/2 to 2 cups.
I have made this last few years! First time Christmas after it was wanted for Thanksgiving. Forget the kids it’s the adults that look forward to it lol!! The children love it too
Thanks Rita!
Made the Grinch Punch and it was a hit..!!! Kids and adults all loved it
That’s great Kandy! Thank you!
Great punch! What is the size of grinch face is on your pitcher?
Thanks Melissa! I’m pretty sure we used the 5″ sticker.
Thank you!!
I was planning to make this for an office party. I could not find lime sherbet or the green Hawaiian Punch. I am going with vanilla ice cream, limeade and a Wylers Green Tropical Island Punch. hope it turns out.
Hi Nancy. Those seem like great substitutions. Let us know how it turns out.
Question – is there anything that can be used to replace the sherbet? I can’t find any at the local stores, and I don’t have an ice cream maker to make any. Any suggestions?
Hi Kristi. Sherbet really is the best, but I think plain vanilla ice cream will give the closest results for you. The Sprite, Hawaiian Punch and pineapple juice will give it the kick it needs.
I made the Grinch punch and the Christmas punch last year and overall the Grinch punch was a big hit so this year I will definitely be making the Grinch punch
