Ingredients

Mocktail Ingredients

  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup grenadine syrup
  • Ice cubes (as needed)

Garnish

  • Fresh pineapple wedges
  • Maraschino cherries

Instructions

  1. Prepare Glass: Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour in the pineapple juice until the glass is about halfway full, chilling the base of the drink.
  2. Add Orange Juice: Slowly pour the orange juice over the pineapple juice to create a distinct layered effect without mixing the colors.
  3. Create Sunrise Effect: Carefully drizzle the grenadine syrup down the side of the glass so it sinks to the bottom, giving the drink its characteristic sunrise appearance.
  4. Garnish: Add fresh pineapple wedges and a maraschino cherry on top to enhance the visual appeal and flavor.
  5. Serve: Serve the mocktail immediately to enjoy the vibrant tropical flavors at their freshest.

Notes

  • Use chilled pineapple and orange juices for the best layering effect and refreshment.
  • Pour the grenadine slowly and carefully to maintain the sunrise layering.
  • Adjust the amount of grenadine to your preferred sweetness level.
  • For a sparkling version, add a splash of soda water just before serving.
  • Fresh fruit garnishes not only enhance appearance but also add a burst of natural flavor.
