Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups orange juice
- 3 tablespoons cranberry juice
- 0.5 cups sparkling water or club soda
- 1 tablespoon grenadine
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 slice orange slice
- 1 sprig fresh mint sprig
Instructions
Fill a tall glass with the ice cubes.
Pour the orange juice into the glass, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
Slowly add the sparkling water or club soda over the orange juice. Do not mix to maintain the layered effect.
Gently drizzle the cranberry juice over the back of a spoon to create a floating layer on top of the orange juice.
Add a tablespoon of grenadine by pouring it slowly down the side of the glass. It will settle at the bottom to create a gradient sunrise effect.
Garnish the drink with a fresh orange slice and a sprig of mint for a festive presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Holiday Sunrise!
