This sweet and refreshing non-alcoholic Sunrise Mocktail has just two simple ingredients. It’s perfect for brunch (or any special occasion) and so easy to prepare!
This virgin mocktail (NO tequila!) boasts a burst of color and deliciousness in every sip. Garnish it with an orange slice and maraschino cherry for a beautiful classic finish.
Ingredients Needed
- Orange juice – Preferably pulp-free for a more visually appealing drink.
- Grenadine – A sweet red syrup that gives this drink its beautiful red hue. It is made from pomegranate juice and sugar reduced to a syrup. Grenadine is typically found in the grocery store aisle with the drink mixers.
- Garnishes – Although garnishes are totally optional, I highly recommend an orange slice and a maraschino cherry for a beautiful presentation.
How to Make a Sunrise Mocktail
- Prepare your glass. Fill a highball glass with ice.
- Add the orange juice. Pour the orange juice over the ice, leaving room for a couple of tablespoons of grenadine.
- Create the sunrise gradient effect by pouring the grenadine over the orange juice.
- Garnish with an orange slice and maraschino cherry.
Variations
- Adjust to taste by adding more grenadine if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Make it a mimosa by adding sparkling wine or sparkling water.
Cheers!
