Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups orange juice
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons grenadine syrup
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 1.5 cups ice cubes
- 1 piece orange slice
- 1 piece maraschino cherry
- 1 piece fresh mint sprig
Instructions
Fill two tall glasses halfway with ice cubes.
In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup, combine the orange juice and pineapple juice. Stir well to ensure the flavors are combined.
Evenly divide the juice mixture between the two glasses, pouring it over the ice.
Slowly pour 1 tablespoon of grenadine syrup into each glass, allowing it to sink to the bottom and create a gradient effect (resembling a scenic sunrise). Do not stir.
Top each glass with 1/2 cup of sparkling water to give the drink a bubbly finish.
Garnish each glass with an orange slice, a maraschino cherry, and a fresh mint sprig for a pop of color and aroma.
Serve immediately and sip through a straw to enjoy the layers of flavor.
