The Bay Area Fog mocktail — dramatic orange-to-black layered drink with orange peel twist

Ingredients

3 oz fresh orange juice
0.5 oz simple syrup
0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
2 oz sparkling water + 1/4 tsp activated charcoal (for the dark layer)
Black sugar, for rim
Ice
Orange peel twist, for garnish

Instructions

Rim a rocks glass with black sugar: wet the rim with orange juice and dip into black sugar.
Mix the charcoal layer: stir activated charcoal into sparkling water until dissolved.
Fill the glass with ice.
Combine orange juice, simple syrup, and lemon juice. Pour over ice — this is the orange base layer.
Slowly pour the charcoal sparkling water over the back of a spoon onto the surface. It will float and create the dark top layer.
Garnish with an orange peel twist. Serve immediately.
