Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice.
  2. Add orange juice (and maybe a splash of soda water for lightness).
  3. Slowly pour in grenadine so it sinks to the bottom, creating a sunrise effect.
  4. Garnish with an orange slice and cherry.

Tip: Fill the glass right to the top with ice so the drink stays cold without watering down fast.

About the Virgin Sunrise

Named after the Tequila Sunrise, whose grenadine sinks through the orange juice like a sunrise. The modern version of that drink comes from 1970s Sausalito, California.

  • No Orange Juice? Use Orange (Squeeze fresh: 1 orange gives about 70 ml)
  • No Orange Juice? Use Blood Orange Juice (Berry-like and deep red)
  • No Grenadine? Use Raspberry Syrup (Berry instead of pomegranate)
