Description

This fun and festive Grinch-themed ice cream float is perfect for kids during the holidays. The combination of lime sherbet, green punch, and lemon-lime soda creates a bubbly, green treat that’s sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups Green Hawaiian Punch
  • About 2 cups Lemon-Lime Soda
  • 3 to 4 scoops of Lime Sherbet (or Vanilla Ice Cream)
  • Sour candy hearts (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Float:
    In a large pitcher, place 3 to 4 scoops of lime sherbet (or vanilla ice cream). If preferred, make individual servings by placing scoops directly into glasses.
  2. Add the Punch and Soda:
    Slowly pour the green Hawaiian Punch and lemon-lime soda over the sherbet, being careful to avoid overflow.
  3. Garnish and Serve:
    Garnish each float with a straw and a sour candy heart if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Customization: Feel free to add more soda or punch to adjust the sweetness and flavor. Lime sherbet enhances the Grinch-green color, but vanilla ice cream works great too!
  • Individual Servings: This recipe can easily be adapted for individual glasses instead of a large pitcher.
