Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups lime sherbet softened slightly
  • 1 litre lemon-lime soda chilled (e.g., Sprite or 7-Up)
  • 2 cups pineapple juice chilled
  • Maraschino cherries for garnish
  • Lime slices for garnish

Equipment

  • Large punch bowl or pitcher
  • Ice Cream Scoop or Large Spoon

Method
 

  1. Ensure the lemon-lime soda and pineapple juice are thoroughly chilled.
  2. In a large punch bowl, pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda and pineapple juice. Swirl gently to combine.
  3. Using a scoop, carefully add the lime sherbet to the punch bowl. Do not stir vigorously; gently nudge the sherbet to start the melting and foaming process.
  4. Garnish the surface with maraschino cherries (representing the Grinch's heart) and fresh lime slices.
  5. Serve immediately while the punch is still frothy and icy cold.

Notes

For a 'Grinch dust' rim, wet the glass rim with corn syrup and press into green sanding sugar. For an adult version, add 1 cup of white rum or vodka to the liquids before the sherbet.
