As soon as S saw commercials for How the Grinch Stole Christmas this year she started asking to watch the movie and to drink the “Grinch Drink”. I am always amazed at how much she remembers! It was last Christmas that I made a special drink for her to enjoy while watching the movie. S notices the details and she enjoys when I do something extra special for her, so I love to do that for her.
The Grinch drink is easy to make with just lime sherbet and ginger ale! I like to rim the glass with colored sugar. I found the easiest way to do this is to flip the glass upside down and place in a bowl with a little water in it. Place some colored sugar on a plate and place the wet glass in the sugar. I move the glass around a little and make sure the whole rim is covered. Then place a couple scoops of lime sherbet in a glass and cover with ginger ale. Add a paper straw.
So cute and so easy and they put a smile on S’s face 🙂

This drink was my youngest daughter’s favorite while growing up. What a great idea to rim the glasses with sugar and it looks like a grown up drink. So adorable!
