Why This Grinch Drink is Best

Some people are wine drinkers. And some of us like fun drinks with garnishes.

Today’s grinch punch is perfect for a Christmas cocktail. Paired with our non-alcoholic Christmas punch and you’ve got a great line-up!

Caution: This drink is NOT for underage consumption.

Yes, it looks fun and fruity, but it contains alcohol and is for adults only.

  • 5 ingredients needed to mix this up
  • A fun color and a fruity flavor
  • Add fun fruit garnishes with orange slices and cherries

Don’t forget to add a plate of grinch cookies to your holiday table.

Ingredient Notes

  • Peach Schnapps – This adds a hint of flavor you’ll love.
  • Rum – I use the citrus rum, but any variety works.
  • Orange Juice – Use regular OJ or a light version. Pineapple juice will also work with this recipe.
  • Lemon-Lime Pop – 7Up or Sprite work great, whether regular or diet. Or cut some of the sugar and sweetness and use club soda!
  • Blue Curacao Liquor – This is what turns your drink green!

Tips and Tricks

  • Again, to be clear, this is a GROWN UP drink, not a drink for kids. It contains alcohol.
  • You don’t need to use top shelf rum, since we’re mixing it with so many other flavors, but maybe don’t go with the super cheap stuff either. I use the Bacardi citrus rum.
  • You can use regular or diet soda or substitute club soda to add your fizz. Mix it slowly so it doesn’t bubble over.
  • Add extra soda, if needed, if your drink is too strong.
  • You can mix these drinks in individual glasses or make a pitcher and serve from that.
  • The recipe makes 4 decent sized drinks, but you can certainly double the recipe if serving a crowd.
  • Don’t make this too far in advance because you don’t want the soda to go flat.

Recipe FAQs

Can I substitute something for the Peach Schnapps?

Yes, you could also try using peach vodka, an apricot brandy or a peach flavored soda for the flavor. You can also omit it, but I’d be sure to use a citrus rum to add some flavor.

Can I swap out the orange juice?

Yes, you can use pineapple juice in place of the orange juice if you prefer. You can also use an orange-pineapple juice blend if you’d like.

Can I make this non-alcoholic?

This drink is intended to be a grown-up cocktail with alcohol and includes schnapps, rum and blue curacao. Omitting all of those would drastically change the recipe. However, you could try finding a grinch punch for kids recipe instead.
