✨ Introduction

Craving a drink that looks like a summer sunrise and tastes just as fresh? The Sunrise Mocktail is a non-alcoholic twist on the classic tequila sunrise. With its beautiful layered colors and tangy-sweet flavor, this mocktail is perfect for brunch, beach parties, or relaxing evenings.

Made with fresh orange juice, grenadine, and a splash of sparkling water, it’s as gorgeous as it is refreshing — and 100% alcohol-free.

🍹 Ingredients

120 ml (½ cup) fresh orange juice
30 ml (2 tbsp) grenadine syrup
60 ml (¼ cup) sparkling water or lemon soda
Ice cubes
Orange slice and cherry for garnish (optional)

🧊 Instructions

Fill a glass with ice to the top.
Pour in the fresh orange juice over the ice.
Slowly pour the grenadine into the glass — it will sink and create a beautiful red-to-orange gradient.
Top with sparkling water or lemon soda for a fizzy finish.
Garnish with a slice of orange and a cherry on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the sunrise in a glass!

📝 Notes

You can swap sparkling water with coconut water or ginger ale for a tropical twist.
For a low-sugar version, use unsweetened juice and a sugar-free grenadine.
Want it colder? Blend it with crushed ice for a frozen Sunrise slushie!
