Bright, fruity drink with grenadine, orange, and pineapple juices for a stunning ombre effect and refreshing flavor.

# What You'll Need:

→ Juices

01 - 1 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed or bottled
02 - 1/2 cup pineapple juice, chilled

03 - 2 tablespoons grenadine syrup

05 - Top off each glass with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda for a refreshing fizz, if desired.

07 - Present immediately with a straw, avoiding stirring to preserve the layered appearance.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The ombre effect never fails to spark curiosity and compliments at any gathering.
  • The citrus-grenadine flavor is cheerful and thirst-quenching, perfect for hot days or moments needing a pick-me-up.
02 -
  • Don’t rush the grenadine, or it will just blend instead of settling—that was my rookie mistake early on!
  • You’ll get the best ombre effect if everything is super cold and the glasses are packed with ice before pouring.
03 -
  • Always check ingredient labels if allergies are a concern—maraschino cherries sometimes have hidden additives.
  • The right glass shape (tall and narrow) helps separate the layers for the best ombre look.
