Ingredients

• 4 oz Pineapple juice
• 2 oz Orange juice
• 1 oz Grenadine syrup
• 2 oz Coconut water
• 1.5 cups Crushed ice
• 1 piece Fresh lime wedge
• 1 piece Maraschino cherry
• 2 oz Optional rum (dark or light)

Directions

Step 1

1. Fill a tall glass with 1.5 cups of crushed ice, ensuring the glass is chilled and visually appealing.

Step 2

2. In a mixing jug, combine 4 oz of pineapple juice and 2 oz of orange juice. Stir gently to blend.

Step 3

3. Optionally, add 2 oz of dark or light rum to the juice mixture (skip this step for a mocktail).

Step 4

4. Slowly pour the juice mixture over the crushed ice in the glass to maintain the icy texture.

Step 5

5. Carefully layer 2 oz of coconut water over the juice by pouring it gently over the back of a spoon to create separation.

Step 6

6. Add 1 oz grenadine syrup by pouring it very slowly around the inner edge of the glass. The syrup will sink to the bottom, creating a stunning gradient effect reminiscent of a sunset.

Step 7

7. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge placed on the rim of the glass and a maraschino cherry skewered on a cocktail stick.

Step 8

8. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your tropical escape in a glass!
