We are in full swing into the holiday season. Are you ready? Every year I say I will get more organized...but that rarely happens. Luckily I have a delicious Grinch cocktail recipe!

One thing I love about the holidays is when friends stop by to visit. This quality time has a special meaning for us. I don't panic when this happens because I always have ingredients to make simple recipes that can be prepared quickly.

Get ready for happy hour and try some of my most popular fancy drinks recipes.

Bottles of Alizé Vodka, Green yellow and blue vodka

Have you seen Alizé Liquor in stores?

You are going to love how easy this Grinch punch is to make. The secret to this drink is Alizé French Vodka, blended with a delicious blend of passion fruit and other exotic fruit flavors. I am all about fruity flavors in my cocktails! You certainly can't miss the bright, inviting colors!

Alizé is a premium French Vodka that makes your parties more colorful :-). It is intensely unique; Alizé infused their premium French Vodka with luscious, fresh flavors from the world’s most exotic regions.

It was so much fun creating this Grinch drink with vodka. The Grinch was always my favorite Christmas special to watch when I was young. There was something about how little Whos helped the Grinch's heart grow. Do you have a favorite?

I used the beautiful blue Alizé Vodka for this drink recipe. Originally, my plan for this drink was to create a Blue Santa drink, but the pineapple juice made the drink too green for Santa!

The biggest challenge you may have in making this Grinch drink is finding the green cotton candy I used to garnish the martini glasses. Feel free to skip this garnish if you can't find it. You can also garnish this drink with a fresh pineapple slice instead!

    Hi Sandi
    I’m a little confused-=which vodka did you use? The green is Apple, but it looks like you used the blue passion fruit? How did it get green then? Anyways, any help is much appreciated! Looks like a great drink!

    We used to have an adult holiday party which was the reading of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Wouldn't this be the perfect cocktail to enjoy for this party? How fun, cheers!
