Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Orange juice

• 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)

Fill a tall glass with the ice cubes to keep the drink chilled.

Step 2

Pour the orange juice into the glass, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the freshly squeezed lime juice and give the drink a single, gentle stir to slightly blend the flavors without disrupting the color gradient.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Serve immediately and enjoy the visual layers of the Mexican Sunrise as you sip!
