The Grinch Cocktail Recipe
If you want an adorable, festive, and fundrink for your adult friends and family this holiday season, give this GrinchCocktail a try! The delightfully fruity melon liqueur tames the bite of thevodka and the 7UP ends it on a sweet note. Top it with a gorgeous cherry forthat perfect pop of red that pairs with the Grinch so well.
Equipment
- Jigger
- 10-12 Ounce Cocktail Glass
- Cocktail Spoon
Ingredients
- 5 Ounces 7UP
- 2 Ounces Midori
- 1 Ounce Vodka
- Maraschino Cherry optional
- Ice optional
Instructions
- Fill your glass with ice, leaving a small space at the top (or however you prefer).
- Pour the vodka in first, followed by the Midori.
- Top off with the 7UP or similar soda of choice.
- Give a slight stir with the cocktail spoon and enjoy!
Notes
I recommend serving these immediately since the soda will go flat if made in advance or left to sit for too long.
Do not stir long or hard as it will flatten the soda. It only takes a quick swish of the spoon to get it mixed well.
I do not recommend mixing these in a cocktail shaker before serving since it will cause the soda to go flat. Ew, it’s not a tasty outcome.
You’re more than welcome to use any clear soda that’s similar to 7UP. Whatever you have on hand or the brand you prefer is just fine.
If you want a stronger cocktail, you can remove an ounce of the 7UP and replace it with another ounce of either the vodka or Midori, whichever you prefer.
If you would like a chilled cocktail but no ice, simply have the ingredients chilled before making the drink.
If you can’t find Midori, other green melon liqueur should do the trick.
