Grinch Punch

This colorful Grinch Punch is the perfect drink for the Christmas season. Kids loooove it, you can whip it up for your holiday parties, cozy grinch movie nights, and even just for yourself if you feel like it.

During the holiday season, I like to make sure I have at least one Christmas punch for kids ready to serve alongside all my Christmas cocktails and mocktails. And just like my Grinch Cookies, this one is fun, festive, and sure to become a family favorite in your home during the holiday season.

I love how it is ready with 5 minutes of prep with no fancy mixing equipment needed. I just give the kids the simple 6 ingredients and leave them to it unsupervised.

Get complete ingredients list and instructions from the recipe card below.

• Mix together sprite, water, lemonade concentrate, pineapple juice, and Kool-Aid in a large pitcher. 
• Dip the glass rims in water and then into the sanding sugar to coat them.
• Pour Grinch punch into glasses, add in ice cubes if desired, and serve.

Recipe Tips

• You can easily double or triple this recipe for a crowd.
• Rim the glasses with sanding sugar just before serving so the sugar does not all dissolve.

Recipe Variations

This punch is super versatile! Try some of these easy variations;

• Reduce the fizz – You can add less fizz by replacing some of the carbonated soda with juice.
• Vary the fizz – Feel free to use sparkling water, ginger ale, or another type of clear soda instead of sprite.
• Use a different green – I used liquid Kool-aid, but you can easily used the crystal kind. Just make sure to follow the instructions on the packet for proportions of kool-aid and water.
• Add in fun ice cubes – serve with candy cane, snowflake, santa, star etc shaped ice cubes.
• For other holidays – use black sanding sugar to make this a halloween witches brew, or use orange Kool-aid instead.

Prep Ahead and Storing

Prep Ahead – This is a great recipe for prepping ahead. Combine all the ingredients (except the sprite) and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Add in the sprite just before serving.

FAQs

Can I Make Grinch Punch With Alcohol? – You certainly can. Just add in about 1 cup of vodka or rum to the punch before serving.
