Ingredients
5 cl (1.7 oz) Malibu Coconut Rum
2 cl (0.7 oz) Grenadine syrup
10–12 cl (3.5–4 oz) Fresh orange juice
Crushed ice (enough to fill a tall glass)
Optional garnish: orange slice, maraschino cherry, raspberries, or cocktail umbrella
Instructions
Fill a tall glass (like a highball or hurricane glass) to the top with crushed ice.
Pour in the Malibu Coconut Rum.
Top with orange juice, leaving about 1–2 cm of space at the top.
Slowly pour the grenadine over the back of a spoon or down the inside of the glass to create the layered “sunset” effect.
Garnish with an orange slice, cherry, or raspberries—and add a cocktail umbrella if you’re feeling festive.
Serve immediately without stirring to preserve the layers. Enjoy!
Notes
Want it sweeter? Add a splash of pineapple juice with the orange juice.
No crushed ice? Regular cubes work too, though crushed looks best for layering.
Make it alcohol-free by swapping the rum with coconut water, soda, or coconut syrup.
For parties, batch the rum and juice ahead, and layer grenadine per glass before serving.
Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor—store-bought works in a pinch, but fresh is next-level.
