Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz dark rum
- 4 oz orange juice
- 2 oz pineapple juice
- 0.5 oz grenadine
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 piece orange slice
- 1 piece maraschino cherry
Instructions
Fill a highball glass with 1 cup of ice cubes to chill the drink properly.
Pour 2 oz of dark rum over the ice slowly, creating the base layer of the cocktail.
In a separate container or shaker, combine 4 oz of orange juice and 2 oz of pineapple juice. Stir them gently so the flavors mix well.
Slowly pour the juice mixture over the back of a spoon onto the rum layer to preserve the separation of colors.
Add 0.5 oz of grenadine very carefully by pouring it down the side of the glass or using a spoon. The grenadine will sink to the bottom, creating a striking red gradient against the orange hues.
Garnish the drink with an orange slice on the rim of the glass and a maraschino cherry on top for a pop of color and elegance.
Serve immediately with a straw, allowing the drinker to enjoy both the layered visual appeal and the combined flavors as they sip.
