Easy 3-Ingredient Grinch Punch Recipe for Christmas (Print version)

A fizzy green Christmas punch made with lime sherbet, lemon-lime soda, and green fruit punch in about 5 minutes.

# Ingredients:

For the punch

01 - 1/2 gallon (1.9 L) lime sherbet, slightly softened
02 - 1 bottle (2 liters) lemon-lime soda, chilled
03 - 1 gallon (3.8 L) green fruit punch, chilled

Optional garnish

04 - Maraschino cherries, for serving
05 - Red sanding sugar, for glass rims

# Instructions:

01 - Refrigerate the lemon-lime soda and green fruit punch until very cold. Cold liquids keep the punch fizzy longer.
02 - Let the lime sherbet sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes, just until it scoops easily.
03 - Scoop the softened sherbet into a large punch bowl or pitcher. Use loose scoops so the liquids can mix around them.
04 - Slowly pour the chilled lemon-lime soda and green fruit punch over the sherbet. Stir gently until creamy, green, and foamy.
05 - Add maraschino cherries if using. Serve immediately in glasses with red sugar rims, if desired.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served immediately after mixing.
02 - Make smaller batches for long parties so the soda stays bubbly.
03 - Optional garnishes are not counted in the 3 main ingredients.
