Ingredients
These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:
-
🍊 2 oz orange juice – fresh squeezed preferred, for a tangy base
-
🍍 1 oz pineapple juice – adds tropical sweetness
-
🍹 1 oz coconut rum – gives a mellow, beachy flavor
-
🥭 ½ oz passionfruit or mango liqueur – for fruity depth and exotic twist
-
🍒 ½ oz grenadine – sinks to the bottom, creating the sunset effect
-
🥤 2 oz lemon-lime soda or club soda – adds a fizzy finish
-
🧊 Crushed ice or ice cubes – to chill and layer the drink
-
🍊 Orange slices, maraschino cherries, or edible flowers – for garnish
Instructions
Step 1:
Fill a tall glass or hurricane glass with crushed ice to the top.
Step 2:
In a cocktail shaker, combine the orange juice, pineapple juice, coconut rum, and passionfruit liqueur. Shake gently to combine.
Step 3:
Pour the mixture slowly over the crushed ice.
Step 4:
Gently pour grenadine down the side of the glass or directly into the bottom using a bar spoon—it will sink and create a beautiful reddish-pink layer.
Step 5:
Top the drink with lemon-lime soda or club soda for a fizzy finish.
Step 6:
Garnish with a slice of orange, a cherry, and a paper umbrella or edible flower for flair. Serve immediately.
Notes
This cocktail doesn’t require cooking, but here are a few mixing tips for that perfect look and flavor:
-
Layer slowly: Pour the grenadine down the inside of the glass to create that gradient effect.
-
Use clear glasses: The visual appeal is part of the experience—choose a clear tall glass to showcase the colors.
-
Chill your glass: Pre-chilling ensures your cocktail stays colder longer.
