Notes
-
- Make sure all ingredients are well-chilled before mixing. This helps keep your punch cold without needing excessive ice, which can dilute the flavors.
- For a festive touch, go for clear glass or plastic cups to show off the vibrant green color.
- Mason jars or punch bowls also work well for larger gatherings.
- Add colorful garnish like strawberries or use maraschino cherries for Grinch "hearts." Add a sprig of fresh mint or a candy cane for a festive touch.
- Rimming the glasses with sugar really takes this up a notch but do this just before serving so the sugars don't dissolve.
- If you're serving the punch over an extended period, consider using a punch bowl with an ice ring or a large ice block to keep the drink cold without dilution.
- If mixing in advance, combine all of the ingredients except for the soda. Add this just before serving so it will be nice and bubbly.
- You can easily double or triple this recipe for a crowd.
- Make Grinch punch with alcohol for the grown-ups.
- Storage - this punch can be refrigerated for 3-4 days, but will lose the carbonation.
