How to make a Grinch Sangria
Making the Grinch Sangria is super easy and it is quite a colorful cocktail. If you have made other cocktails with prepped glasses coating the rim with red sugar should be a piece of cake.
The only tedious part is to make the cutout heart strawberry which represents the Grinch’s heart that grew 3 sizes that day. We explain below how easy it is to make the cutout.
Ingredients
- Bottle of Pinot Grigio
- Midori Melon Liqueur (Can use any other brand if desired)
- Pineapple Juice
- Sprite
- Strawberries
- Red Sugar Sprinkles
- Honey
Equipment
There is no special equipment required for this holiday cocktail.
Recipe Steps
Because this Grinch Sangria Cocktail is normally served in either a pitcher or a punch bowl you will want to mix up the punch prior to prepping any glasses. If you prep the glasses prior to the drink you run the risk of the honey and sugar sliding down the glass.
In a large pitcher or punch bowl combine the Pinot Grigio, the sliced strawberries, and pineapple juice. Gently stir in the Sprite.
Prepare the punch glasses by coating the rim of each with the honey and then roll in the red sugar. Fill the glass immediately with the punch and serve.
To make the heart-shaped garnish for the Grinch Cocktail take a whole strawberry and cut it in half lengthwise. Then carefully take a small paring know and trim the strawberry into the shape of a heart.
