Fill a tall glass with the ice cubes to keep the drink chilled.

Pour the orange juice into the glass, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.

Drizzle the grenadine syrup gently over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect as it settles at the bottom of the glass.
Step 4
Add the freshly squeezed lime juice and give the drink a single, gentle stir to slightly blend the flavors without disrupting the color gradient.
Step 5
Garnish the drink with a lime slice on the rim of the glass, a maraschino cherry, and optional watermelon cubes skewered on a cocktail stick.
