A fun and festive holiday cocktail inspired by the Grinch, made with Midori, rum, lemon-lime soda, and topped with a cherry to represent the Grinch’s heart growing three sizes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 oz Midori (melon liqueur)
  • 1 oz clear rum (or triple sec)
  • 5 oz lemon-lime soda (or lemon-lime club soda for lighter version)
  • 1 maraschino cherry
  • Ice (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Fill a lowball glass with ice.
  2. Pour in 1.5 oz of Midori and 1 oz of clear rum.
  3. Top with 5 oz of lemon-lime soda.
  4. Gently stir to combine without losing carbonation.
  5. Garnish with a maraschino cherry on top of the ice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use lemon-lime club soda for a lighter version.
  • Replace rum with triple sec for a fruitier twist.
  • Do not shake soda—stir gently to prevent fizzing over.
  • Try red sugar rim or strawberry heart for garnish variety.
  • For non-alcoholic version, substitute Midori and rum with limeade or green fruit punch.
