Grinch Punch

Grinch Punch is a fun party drink for Christmas made with vodka for the adults or without for the kids. A festive lemon-lime punch served up with a red sugared rim.

I’ve been making my Easy Party Punch for every family gathering and holiday party for years and years and now we have a new favorite that is so fun for Christmas and easy to make for a crowd.

Grinch Punch ~ With or Without Alcohol

I love serving up vodka cocktails for the holidays but I’ve always got a good selection of fun drinks for the kids as well. Make a pitcher without the alcohol for the kids table and everyone will be happy.

Ingredients Needed:

• Lemon-Lime Kool-Aid
• Pineapple Juice
• Simple Syrup
• Vodka
• Ginger Ale
• Honey
• Red Decorating Sugar
• Ice

How to Make Boozy Grinch Punch:

• In a large pitcher, add Kool-Aid, pineapple juice, simple syrup and vodka. Stir well. 

• Top off the pitcher with ginger ale and mix well. 

• Rub honey around the rim of the glasses.

• Hold the glasses over a bowl and pour red decorating sugar around the rim of each glass.

• Fill glasses with ice.

• Fill glasses with punch. Stir punch as needed, pineapple juice will settle.

How to Make Grinch Punch Without Alcohol:

• Mix ingredients in a pitcher, leaving out the alcohol and adding an additional 3 cups of ginger ale. 

Recipe Notes and Variations:

• Yield: 8 Servings
• Best Vodka for Punch: Use your favorite brand, we used Smirnoff for this recipe. Light rum can be substituted for the vodka if preferred.
• Make Ahead: Punch can be made up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated. Stir before serving. If preparing the day before, add the ginger ale just before serving and mix well. 
• Storage: Leftover punch can be refrigerated up to 2 days. Store in an airtight container, ginger ale will lose its fizz after a day. 
• Occasions: Christmas and New Year’s Eve Parties. This green punch would also be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any green themed celebration.
