Description

Sweet Sunrise Mocktail brings tropical paradise to your glass with layers of orange juice, grenadine, and coconut cream. Mocktail magic blooms from fresh ingredients, creating a refreshing non-alcoholic escape you’ll savor sip by sip.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Alcohol-Free Ingredients:

  • 4 ounces (118 milliliters) orange pineapple juice

Sweeteners and Syrups:

  • 0.5 ounces (15 milliliters) grenadine syrup

Garnish and Flavor Enhancers:

  • 23 dashes orange bitters
  • Ice
  • 1 slice grapefruit, orange, or pineapple

Instructions

  1. Chill a highball glass by filling it completely with ice cubes, ensuring the glass is cold and ready for the vibrant mocktail.
  2. Pour 2 to 3 dashes of aromatic orange bitters into the ice-filled glass, creating a subtle citrusy foundation.
  3. Carefully pour orange pineapple juice over the ice and bitters, filling the glass approximately 3/4 full and creating a golden liquid base.
  4. Slowly drizzle grenadine syrup along the inner edge of the glass, allowing it to naturally cascade and create a stunning layered effect with the juice.
  5. Watch as the grenadine gradually sinks and then elegantly rises through the juice, forming a beautiful gradient of deep red and bright orange colors.
  6. Select a fresh citrus garnish – choose either a grapefruit, orange, or pineapple slice – and delicately place it on the rim of the glass for a decorative touch.
  7. Serve the mocktail immediately while the ice is still cold and the layers are visibly distinct, ensuring maximum visual appeal and refreshing taste.

Notes

  • Creates a stunning layered effect with vibrant colors that transition from bottom to top.
  • Use fresh, high-quality orange pineapple juice for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Grenadine adds a beautiful ruby-red gradient and subtle pomegranate-like sweetness to the drink.
  • Chill the glass beforehand to keep the mocktail cooler and more refreshing for longer.
  • Experiment with different citrus garnishes to personalize the visual appeal and add a zesty touch.
  • Ideal for summer parties, brunches, or as a non-alcoholic alternative for all ages.
