Glassware
The typical glassware used for The Grinch Cocktail is a highball glass. This type of glass is tall and holds 8-12 ounces of liquid. The advantage of the highball glass is that it allows enough space to mix ingredients with ice, creating a great cocktail presentation. Additionally, when drinks are served in these glasses they tend to remain cold longer due to their shape and size.
A Refreshing Combination of Flavors
The combination of gin, blue curaçao and lime juice creates a refreshing taste that is both tart and sweet. The gin has an earthy, herbal flavor that blends wonderfully with the natural sweetness of the Blue Curaçao. The addition of freshly squeezed lime juice brings in a tartness to round out the other flavors.
This cocktail offers a modern twist on classic flavors by combining ingredients like gin and club soda for a zingy kick. With each sip you get a hint of citrus from the lime juice, as well as subtle notes of vanilla from the Blue Curaçao – all perfectly balanced by the light carbonation from either Sprite Zero or Club Soda.

It’s low-calorie enough that you can indulge guilt-free while still getting an excellent flavor experience. All in all, it’s hard to go wrong when mixing up one this deliciously balanced drink!
3 Tips for Making Your Grinch
