Description

A festive and refreshing Grinch Punch that combines tangy lemon-lime Kool-Aid, pineapple juice, and lemonade concentrate with a fizzy splash of Sprite. Perfect for holiday gatherings or any fun occasion, this vibrant green punch is topped off with ice and glasses rimmed with red sanding sugar for a cheerful presentation.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Mix

  • 2 packets Unsweetened Lemon-Lime Kool-Aid (0.13 oz each)
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 2 quarts Water

Juices

  • 1 can Pineapple Juice (12 oz)
  • 1 can Frozen Lemonade Concentrate, thawed (12 oz)

Topping

  • ½ liter Sprite
  • Ice
  • Red Sanding Sugar for Glass Trim (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Base: Pour 2 quarts of water into a 1-gallon pitcher. Add the two packets of unsweetened lemon-lime Kool-Aid and 2 cups of sugar. Stir thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved, forming the punch base.
  2. Add Juices: Pour in the 12 oz can of pineapple juice and the thawed 12 oz can of frozen lemonade concentrate. Stir well to combine all the flavors evenly.
  3. Prepare Glasses: To rim the glasses, dip the top edge of each glass into water, then immediately dip into red sanding sugar for a festive garnish. This step is optional but adds a lovely visual touch.
  4. Finish Punch: Just before serving, add ½ liter of Sprite and a generous amount of ice to the pitcher. Give it a gentle stir to mix the carbonation without losing fizz.
  5. Serve: Carefully pour the finished Grinch Punch into the prepared glasses, ensuring that each glass maintains its festive sugar rim. Serve cold and enjoy the vibrant, tangy, and bubbly refreshment.

Notes

  • For best flavor, prepare the punch base ahead and chill before adding Sprite and ice just prior to serving.
  • The red sanding sugar on the rim adds a festive touch and a slight crunch, but can be omitted if desired.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to taste if you prefer a less sweet punch.
  • Keep punch cold to maintain the fizz and refreshing taste.
