- Corn syrup for glass rims, optional
Instructions
Mix the Base:
- In a large punch bowl, stir together Kool-Aid mix, sugar, and cold water until dissolved.
Add Juices & Soda:
- Pour in pineapple juice and lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to combine.
Add Sherbet:
- Scoop lime sherbet into the punch. Let it melt slightly for a creamy, frothy top.
Decorate Glasses (Optional):
- Dip rims of serving glasses in corn syrup, then in red sanding sugar for a Grinchy flair.

Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Mix the Kool-Aid, sugar, water, and pineapple juice ahead of time. Add soda and sherbet right before serving.
- Variations: Add a splash of green food colouring for deeper colour or spike with vodka for adults.
- Storage: Best served fresh. If needed, store leftover punch in the fridge for up to 1 day (without sherbet).
- Theme Ideas: Add red heart sprinkles or a candy cane garnish for extra Grinch charm.
