Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (46 ounce) can Pineapple Juice, chilled
  • 2 liters Lemon-Lime Soda, chilled
  • 1 (64 ounce) bottle Green Hawaiian Punch, chilled
  • 1 (1.5 quart) container Lime Sherbet
  • 1/4 cup Lime Juice
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • Optional Green Food Coloring
  • 1 cup Water
  • Ice
  • 1 pound Strawberries
  • 12 ounces White Chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon Red Food Coloring
  • Popsicle Sticks

Instructions

  • First things first, make sure all your liquid ingredients are well chilled. Punch is always best when served icy cold! Grab your largest, most festive punch bowl – the bigger and more dramatic, the better for this showstopper.
  • Pour in your pineapple juice, green Hawaiian Punch, and freshly squeezed (or good quality bottled) lime juice. Give this trio a good stir to ensure they are thoroughly combined.
  • Next, it’s time for the fizzy magic: slowly pour in the lemon-lime soda. Do this gently to minimize fizzing over and to maintain as much of that delightful effervescence as possible.
  • Now, for the showstopper! Take generous scoops of lime sherbet and float them on top of the liquid. Don’t be shy here; the more sherbet, the creamier and more dramatic your punch will be as it slowly melts. As it mingles with the other liquids, it creates beautiful swirls of lighter green and a frothy top layer that’s absolutely irresistible.
  • If your green isn’t quite as Grinch-y as you’d like, now is the time to add a few drops of green food coloring, stirring gently until you reach your desired mischievous hue. Remember, just a few drops at a time until it’s perfectly vibrant! The punch should look invitingly bubbly, with creamy sherbet peaks floating like little green clouds. Serve immediately, as the sherbet is best when it’s just starting to melt, creating that delightful creamy-fizzy texture that everyone adores. A common mistake is to add ice too early, which can dilute the flavors; instead, rely on chilled ingredients and the melting sherbet to keep it cold.
  • To create the iconic Grinch heart garnish, start by washing and thoroughly drying your strawberries – moisture is the enemy of melting chocolate! Gently impale each strawberry onto a popsicle stick, pushing it in far enough to be secure but not so far you pierce through the top.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and creamy. A double boiler also works wonderfully for a gentler melt.
  • Once melted, add a few drops of red food coloring to the white chocolate, stirring until you achieve a vibrant, Grinch-heart red. Dip each strawberry into the red chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. You want a smooth, even coating.
  • Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm. These bright red, chocolate-dipped delights will be the perfect whimsical crowning glory for your Grinch Punch, adding a touch of thematic charm and a delicious, sweet bite.
  • Now for the grand finale – serving your spectacular Grinch Punch! Ladle generous portions into individual glasses, making sure each serving gets a lovely scoop of the melting lime sherbet on top. The visual appeal of the vibrant green liquid with the contrasting red Grinch heart garnish is truly enchanting. Gently place one of your chilled Grinch heart strawberries onto the rim of each glass or directly into the punch, letting it proudly peek out from the green froth. For an extra touch of whimsy and ease of drinking, consider individual straws. The punch is best enjoyed immediately when the sherbet is at its creamiest and the soda at its fizziest, creating a delightful interplay of textures and flavors. Prepare for exclamations of delight as your guests behold this festive masterpiece!
