Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz Prosecco or sparkling water
- 2 oz Orange juice
- 1 oz Grenadine syrup
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 piece Orange slice
- 1 piece Maraschino cherry
Instructions
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to keep the cocktail chilled and create a base for the layering effect.
Pour the orange juice into the glass over the ice cubes, ensuring it settles as the primary layer.
Gently pour Prosecco or sparkling water into the glass. Be careful to pour slowly to avoid mixing the layers and to preserve the carbonation.
Using a spoon or by free pouring close to the side of the glass, slowly add the grenadine syrup. It will sink to the bottom and then rise slightly to create the iconic 'sunset' gradient effect.
Garnish the cocktail with a fresh orange slice on the rim of the glass and a maraschino cherry placed on a cocktail pick or floating on the drink.
Serve immediately and enjoy the flavors of this beautiful Italian Sunset Cocktail!
