How to make Grinch Punch:
It really couldn’t be easier. All you need is lemon-lime Kool-Aid mix, lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, vodka, and ginger ale. Combine the water and Kool-Aid in a pitcher, then add in the rest of your ingredients and stir to combine. When ready to serve, create your red-rimmed glasses by adding lime juice to your rims, then dipping in red sanding sugar. Pour your glasses, and get ready to get the holiday party started.
Can I switch out the ginger ale for something else?
Not a ginger ale fan? This drink won't be quite the same without it, but you can swap it out for something else you prefer. Try seltzer water if you want a not-as-sweet drink, or add more lemon-lime soda instead. The flavor won't be exact to the drink we have here, but it'll still be green, boozy and delicious.
Can this be non-alcoholic?
Sure! If the kids want to partake in the Christmas fun, simply leave out the alcohol. Feel free to add in more of the lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, or even frozen limeade or lemonade concentrate to make up for the missing booze.
