Grab your favorite champagne flutes or wine glasses and fill them halfway with the green Hawaiian Punch.
Slowly pour in the chilled champagne, letting it cascade over the punch for that cool visual effect.
Give it a light stir to blend the flavors while keeping that vibrant green color.

Green Hawaiian Punch Substitutions

Here are a few variations for a Green Grinch Mimosa without using green Hawaiian punch:

1. **Kiwi Puree**: Blend fresh or frozen kiwi with a touch of simple syrup to create a flavorful and naturally green base for your mimosa. Kiwi adds a delightful tropical twist.

3. **Cucumber-Mint Infusion**: Infuse your champagne with cucumber slices and fresh mint leaves for a refreshing and green twist. Remove the slices and leaves before serving.

4. **Melon Liqueur**: Add a splash of melon liqueur (like Midori) for a sweet and vibrant green flavor. Adjust the quantity to your taste.

5. **Spinach and Pineapple Blend**: Create a healthy green base by blending spinach with pineapple juice. It will give your mimosa a unique and earthy flavor profile.

Remember to adjust the sweetness and flavor balance to suit your preferences when trying these variations. Enjoy your Green Grinch Mimosa!
