We dissolve the sugar with a bit of water to make a simple syrup that mixes in with the other liquids seamlessly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Evaporated milk:<\/strong> We stir 1\/3 cup evaporated milk into the punch base for a creamy consistency and rich taste. Use up the rest of the can in one of these delicious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-using-evaporated-milk\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-using-evaporated-milk\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">recipes using evaporated milk<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Almond extract:<\/strong> A touch of almond extract adds a nutty, marzipan-like flavor. Feel free to swap in vanilla extract instead if desired.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Neon green food coloring:<\/strong> For a Grinch-y look, add 12 drops neon green food coloring to the punch base.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon-lime soda:<\/strong> Buy a 2-liter bottle of your favorite lemon-lime soda and let it chill in the fridge for at least a few hours (or ideally overnight) before you add it to the punch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla ice cream:<\/strong> A high-quality ice cream makes all the difference, so pick up one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-vanilla-ice-cream-brands\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-vanilla-ice-cream-brands\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best vanilla ice cream brands<\/a> from the store.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the simple syrup<\/h3>\n<p>In a large saucepan, whisk together the sugar and water. Cook and stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove the saucepan from the heat.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Add the milk and extract<\/h3>\n<p>Stir in the evaporated milk and almond extract. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and cool the mixture to room temperature. Cover the bowl with storage wrap, and refrigerate the mixture until it\u2019s chilled.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Stir in the food coloring and soda<\/h3>\n<p>Just before serving, transfer the milk mixture to a punch bowl.

Use red for a festive Christmas look against the green drink or green sanding sugar for even greener Grinchiness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change the ice cream:<\/strong> Add more neon green to this Grinch punch by swapping in lime sherbet for the vanilla ice cream.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swap in juice or lemonade:<\/strong> Tropical pineapple juice or sugary lemonade would add sweetness and tang to the punch. Use one of these in place of the simple syrup and evaporated milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add more green coloring:<\/strong> Pour in a few cups of Hawaiian Punch Green Berry Rush to turn this Grinch punch a bit greener. If you decide to go this route, omit the neon food coloring, evaporated milk and almond extract.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Grinch Punch<\/h2>\n<p>While you technically can store leftover Grinch punch, know that the carbonation will go flat after a few hours in the fridge. To store, cover the bowl with storage wrap or transfer the punch to an airtight container. Grinch punch can be kept in the fridge for up to two days. Store the ice cream in the freezer.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make Grinch punch ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>You can make the first component of this Grinch punch ahead of time. The first two steps in the recipe are to make a thick <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-simple-syrup\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-simple-syrup\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">simple syrup<\/a> that\u2019s stirred with evaporated milk and almond extract. This mixture can be made a day in advance and then, once cooled to room temperature, covered and stored in the fridge. Otherwise, everything after that should be stirred in just before serving.<\/p>\n<h2>Grinch Punch Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2003570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Grinch-Punch_TOHcom23_32896_DR_10_13_8b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"A clear glass mug filled with a light green beverage, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
