Notes

For a dairy free option: serve the sherbet on the side or in individual serving cups. For those who need dairy free, serve the green punch over ice. 
Optional: Slice fresh strawberries into heart shapes for a pop of festive red that perfectly complements the Grinch-green color
Tip: Adding maraschino cherries to the punch can turn it brown due to color theory—red and green cancel each other out.

Alcohol Suggestions for an Adult-Friendly Version of Grinch Cocktail

To turn your Grinch Punch into a festive adult green cocktail drink, here are a few great alcohol options that pair perfectly with the flavors:
    1. Vodka – A neutral spirit that won’t overpower the fruity flavors of the punch.
    1. White Rum – Adds a light, tropical twist that complements the pineapple juice and lime sherbet.
    1. Coconut Rum – A fun, slightly sweet option for a more tropical vibe.
    1. Tequila – A splash of silver tequila works well for a refreshing and zesty adult version.
    1. Sparkling Wine or Champagne – For a bubbly, elegant twist, mix in a little sparkling wine to add some grown-up flair.
Each of these options keeps the punch smooth, festive, and delicious while still letting the bright flavors and Grinch-green color shine through! For family events, serve the alcohol on the side so adults can add their own splash, keeping the punch bowl perfectly kid-friendly while adults enjoy a Christmas cocktail.
