Tropical Sunrise Mocktail with Passionfruit (Printable)

Colorful layered passionfruit and orange drink with pineapple and grenadine—ready in 10 minutes, serves 2.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit juices

01 - 1/2 cup passionfruit juice (fresh or bottled)
02 - 3/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
03 - 1/4 cup pineapple juice

→ Sweetener

04 - 1 tablespoon grenadine syrup

→ Garnish & extras

05 - Ice cubes, as needed
06 - Orange slices, for garnish
07 - Fresh mint sprigs (optional)
08 - Passionfruit pulp (optional, for texture)

# How to Make It:

01 - Place two tall serving glasses on the counter and divide ice between them, filling to the desired level.
02 - Pour 1/4 cup passionfruit juice into each glass, then add 3/8 cup orange juice to each, followed by 2 tablespoons pineapple juice per glass so that the layers build naturally.
03 - Slowly pour 1/2 tablespoon grenadine down the inside edge of each glass so the syrup sinks and then gently rises through the juices, forming a layered gradient.
04 - Top each glass with an orange slice and a mint sprig; spoon a little passionfruit pulp over the top if you want added texture.
05 - Serve immediately without stirring to preserve the layers. If preparing in advance, combine the juices in a pitcher and refrigerate; add ice and grenadine just before serving.
