Recipe Tips
- For the best layering effect, pour the grenadine very slowly and let gravity do the work.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
- Chill your juices beforehand so the ice doesn't melt too quickly and dilute the drink.
Make It Your Own
For a crowd: Prepare the tropical base in a pitcher, then add the darker syrup individually to preserve the sunrise effect.
Easy swaps: Use mango nectar instead of orange juice for a deeper tropical body. Use pomegranate syrup in place of grenadine for a less candy-like finish.
