Tips & Tricks
- Batch it: For parties, multiply the recipe and serve it as a Grinch punch in a punch bowl.
- Mocktail version: Skip the gin and blue curaçao and mix pineapple juice, green Hawaiian punch, and lemon-lime soda, then top with lime sherbet for the kids.
- Make ahead: You can mix the base (everything except the bubbly) a few hours before serving and chill. Add Prosecco right before guests arrive to keep it fizzy.
