Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Orange juice
- 0.5 cups Grapefruit juice
- 0.25 cups Pomegranate juice
- 1 tablespoons Honey (optional)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 slice Orange slice (for garnishing)
- 1 sprig Mint sprig (for garnishing)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by chilling two tall glasses in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to keep the drink cold for longer.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine the orange juice and grapefruit juice. Stir well and taste. If needed, add honey to reduce tartness and stir until dissolved.
Step 3
Fill each of the chilled glasses halfway with ice cubes.
Step 4
Pour the citrus juice mixture evenly into both glasses, filling them about three-quarters of the way full.
Step 5
Using the back of a spoon, slowly pour the pomegranate juice into each glass. This will create a layered effect, with the pomegranate juice settling at the bottom and forming the 'sunrise' gradient.
Step 6
Gently garnish each drink with a slice of orange on the rim and a sprig of mint for added freshness.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors of your Citrus Morning Sunrise!
