Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Ice (as needed, to fill the glass)
  • 1 ounce Limoncello
  • 3 ounces fresh-squeezed orange juice
  • Splash of grenadine
  • 1 fresh orange slice for garnish
  • 1 maraschino cherry for garnish

Instructions

  1. Add Ice: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
  2. Pour Limoncello and Orange Juice: Pour 1 ounce of Limoncello and 3 ounces of freshly squeezed orange juice over the ice in the glass.
  3. Add Grenadine: Slowly pour a splash of grenadine into the glass to allow it to settle at the bottom, creating the signature sunrise effect.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the drink with a fresh orange slice and a maraschino cherry on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant flavors and colors.

Notes

  • Use fresh-squeezed orange juice for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the amount of grenadine slightly.
  • For a slushier version, blend the drink with ice instead of using cubes.
  • You can substitute the maraschino cherry with a brandied cherry for a richer taste.
  • Adjust the amount of Limoncello to taste if you prefer a stronger or lighter cocktail.
