This Grinch Christmas Punch recipe is a fun twist on a classic punch. No one can be mean or grumpy while drinking this delicious concotion!

A GREEN AND RED GRINCH-INSPIRED PUNCH!

Whenever I make a party punch, I always have to make a sherbet punch. They are classics – like Presbyterian Punch. There is just something about it that I love. Maybe it’s because it was a childhood favorite. And it can be made easily and cheaply.

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS DELICIOUS CHRISTMAS PUNCH:

  • If you want a different color, you just change up the ingredients slightly!
  • You can use the classic red Hawaiian Punch with raspberry sherbet for a pinkish/red punch.
  • Or you can use orange-flavored Hawaiian Punch and orange sherbet for another twist.
  • Or how about blue raspberry Hawaiian Punch with raspberry or lime sherbet? They all taste great and can easily be tailored to your party preferences!
  • Not a fan of pineapple juice? Just don’t add it. I promise this will still taste delicious!
  • You can make it adult-friendly and add a cup (or two) of rum to the punch.

  1. We don’t use the Hawaiian Punch either, but since we don’t care for the lime sherbet, we use Orange or Pineapple Sherbet..

  2. 5 stars
    We grew up on this punch for every event from school graduations to showers to weddings with this punch, but we only used the sprite and the pineapple juice with the lime sherbet.
