Notes

    • Potter’s Melon Liqueur can be substituted for Midori Melon Liqueur and will give the Grinch green signature color. The taste will differ slightly.
    • Grinch cocktails are best served immediately as the soda can go flat if made in advance.
    • Do not prepare in a shaker to keep the soda fizz. It is best to gently stir the cocktail to mix the components.
    • For a stronger drink, replace the 7UP with another ounce of either the vodka or Midori, whichever you prefer.
    • For an iceless drink, chill the 7up, Midori, and Vodka before preparing the cocktail.
