Instructions
- Fill a tall glass with the ice cubes.
- Pour in the freshly squeezed orange juice and pineapple juice into the glass, filling it approximately two-thirds of the way.
- Slowly drizzle the grenadine into the glass. Due to its heavier density, it will sink to the bottom, creating a beautiful sunset effect.
- Top the cocktail with a shot of white rum. The rum will float on top, mimicking the last rays of a setting sun.
- Stir gently just before serving to mix the flavors while maintaining the visual effect. Enjoy your Pacific Sunset Cocktail!
Tips
- For an extra twist of flavor, consider adding a splash of coconut milk or a dash of bitters.
- Garnish with a slice of pineapple or an orange wheel to enhance the tropical feel.
