Preparation (Step-by-Step)

Making the Paradise Punch Pop is quick, fun, and visually rewarding. The key is to layer the ingredients slowly to create a gorgeous ombré effect.

Step 1: Prepare the Glass

Choose a tall, clear glass—such as a hurricane glass, mason jar, or highball glass—to show off the drink’s vibrant color gradient. Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes.

Step 2: Add Fruit Chunks

Toss in a small handful of chopped tropical fruit (like pineapple, mango, and strawberries) into the ice. These not only add flavor but also enhance the drink’s tropical look.

Step 3: Mix the Juices

In a separate pitcher or large measuring cup, combine:

• Tropical fruit punch

• Pineapple juice

• Coconut water

• Orange juice

• Fresh lime juice

Stir well to blend the flavors.

Step 4: Pour the Juice Blend

Slowly pour the mixed juice into the glass, over the ice and fruit.

Step 5: Add the Grenadine

Take your tablespoon of grenadine and pour it very slowly into the drink. It will sink to the bottom, creating a beautiful red-to-orange gradient. Do not stir.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Add a lime wheel to the rim, a mint sprig, and—if you’re going for a tropical vibe—a cocktail umbrella. Serve immediately with a straw or long spoon.
