Tips

  • Since it has a liqueur base, don't add too much syrup or the Grinch will be too sweet. The lemon juice counteracts that and should give the drink a nice balance of sweet and sour. Add a little more lemon if you're using a rich simple syrup or store-bought brand.
  • Fresh lemon juice is highly recommended because bottled versions are often sweetened, which is the last thing you want in this drink. A large lemon can yield 1 3/4 ounce of juice and that's enough for three cocktails.
