Ingredients

• 240 ml Orange juice
• 120 ml Pineapple juice
• 30 ml Grenadine syrup
• 15 ml Lime juice
• 8 pieces Ice cubes
• 4 pieces Mint leaves
• 1 slice Lemon slice

Directions

Step 1

Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes, ensuring the ice reaches at least halfway up the glasses to maintain the layered look.

Step 2

Pour 120 ml of orange juice into each glass as the base layer.

Step 3

Using the back of a spoon (to slow the pour), gently layer 60 ml of pineapple juice over the orange juice in each glass.

Step 4

Add 7.5 ml of lime juice to each glass for a citrusy punch that balances the sweetness of the other juices.

Step 5

Carefully drizzle 15 ml of grenadine syrup into each glass. The syrup will settle at the bottom, creating a beautiful gradient effect with the orange and yellow hues blending into a rich red base.

Step 6

Garnish each glass with 2 mint leaves and a lemon slice for a fresh touch.

Step 7

Serve immediately with a straw or a cocktail stirrer for optional mixing. Enjoy the dramatic colors before blending for flavor!
