Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Grenadine syrup
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 piece Lime slice
- 1 piece Maraschino cherry
- 3 pieces Watermelon cubes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Fill a tall glass with the ice cubes to keep the drink chilled.
Pour the orange juice into the glass, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
Drizzle the grenadine syrup gently over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect as it settles at the bottom of the glass.
Add the freshly squeezed lime juice and give the drink a single, gentle stir to slightly blend the flavors without disrupting the color gradient.
Garnish the drink with a lime slice on the rim of the glass, a maraschino cherry, and optional watermelon cubes skewered on a cocktail stick.
Serve immediately and enjoy the visual layers of the Mexican Sunrise as you sip!
