The Baltimore Sunrise mocktail — orange-to-red gradient drink with orange slice garnish

Ingredients

4 oz fresh-squeezed orange juice (2-3 oranges)
1 oz sparkling water
0.5 oz grenadine (for the sunrise gradient)
Ice
Orange slice and maraschino cherry, for garnish

Instructions

Fill a tall glass with ice.
Pour fresh orange juice over the ice.
Add sparkling water and stir gently.
Slowly pour grenadine down the side of the glass — do not stir. It will sink to the bottom and create the sunrise gradient.
Garnish with an orange slice on the rim and a maraschino cherry.
Serve immediately — the gradient fades as the drink warms, so enjoy it while it's fresh.
