Description

A bright, citrusy cocktail featuring limoncello, orange juice, and grenadine. This drink is visually stunning with a gradient “sunrise” effect and offers a refreshing balance of sweet and tangy flavors.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 oz limoncello
  • 4 oz fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 oz grenadine
  • Ice cubes
  • Orange slice or lemon twist (for garnish)
  • Maraschino cherry (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
  • Pour the limoncello and orange juice over the ice and stir gently to combine.
  • Slowly pour the grenadine into the glass. It will sink to the bottom and gradually rise, creating the sunrise effect.
  • Garnish with an orange slice, lemon twist, or maraschino cherry.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a slightly less sweet version, use freshly squeezed orange juice instead of store-bought.
  • Add a splash of soda water for some fizz.
  • You can swap grenadine with raspberry syrup for a twist on the flavor.
