Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups fresh orange juice
- 1 cups fresh grapefruit juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons grenadine syrup
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 8 pieces ice cubes
- 2 pieces orange slices (for garnish)
- 4 leaves mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pitcher or mixing bowl, combine the fresh orange juice, grapefruit juice, and lemon juice.
Add the honey to the mixture and stir well until the honey dissolves completely.
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes.
Pour the juice mixture evenly into the glasses, filling each glass about three-fourths full.
Slowly drizzle 1 tablespoon of grenadine syrup into each glass. Allow it to settle at the bottom to create a beautiful 'sunrise' gradient effect.
Gently stir the drink using a straw or stirrer if desired, but take care not to mix the layers completely.
Garnish each glass with an orange slice on the rim and a couple of fresh mint leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Citrus Sunrise!
