Description
Delight in The Spicy Sweet Grinch Cocktail This Holiday Season
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
- 2 cups Vodka
- 1/2 cup Lime juice
- 1 cup Grapefruit juice
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 1 medium Jalapeño (sliced according to heat preference)
- 4 cups Ginger beer
- 1/2 cup Pomegranate arils (for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine the vodka, lime juice, grapefruit juice, honey, and jalapeños in a large pitcher. Stir well to mix! Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the jalapeños, discarding them. Return the vibrant drink to the pitcher and keep it chilled until you’re ready to serve.
- Mix the sugar and finely chopped mint in a shallow bowl. This delightful combo will be used to rim the glasses, adding an extra touch of sweetness!
- Rim each glass by dipping the tops into the mint-sugar mixture before pouring the punch. This will elevate the presentation and flavor with every sip.
- Serve the punch over ice, filling each glass with the spiced mixture and topping it off with ginger beer for that perfect fizzy finish.
- Optional: Garnish with a few pomegranate arils for an elegant touch and a burst of flavor!
Notes
- Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours.
- Adjust jalapeño slices based on your heat preference.
