Description

Enjoy a festive and refreshing Grinch Cocktail that’s perfect for holiday celebrations. This vibrant green drink combines the sweetness of Midori liqueur with the crispness of lemon-lime soda and a splash of clear rum, topped with a maraschino cherry for a cheerful garnish.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1.5 ounces Midori liqueur
  • 1 ounce clear rum
  • 5 ounces lemon-lime soda
  • 1 maraschino cherry (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the glass: Fill a lowball glass with ice to chill and prepare it for the cocktail.
  2. Add spirits: Pour 1.5 ounces of Midori liqueur and 1 ounce of clear rum into the glass. Stir gently to combine the flavors evenly without diluting the drink too much.
  3. Add soda: Carefully pour in 5 ounces of lemon-lime soda. Stir gently once again to mix, taking care not to stir too vigorously so the carbonation remains intact.
  4. Garnish and serve: Place a maraschino cherry on top as a festive garnish. Serve the cocktail immediately while chilled and fizzy.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Midori with melon syrup and omit the rum.
  • Use chilled lemon-lime soda for best results and to keep the drink cold longer.
  • Stir gently after adding soda to preserve carbonation and maintain fizz.
  • The cocktail is best served immediately after preparation.
