Tips for Success
- Ensure the lime sherbet is slightly softened for easier mixing.

- Customize the sugar rim by experimenting with different colored sprinkles or edible glitter.
Variations
- Add fresh fruit slices like lime, strawberries, or kiwi for a fruity twist.

Storage Tips
Store any leftover Grinch Punch in a sealed container in the refrigerator. However, for the best taste and texture, serve it fresh, as the sherbet will melt if stored for too long.
