Mocktail Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut water
- 1 tbsp blue curaçao syrup (non-caffeinated)
- 1 tbsp grenadine
- ¼ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup cranberry juice
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Pineapple wedge or cherry for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to chill the ingredients while mixing.
- Mix the mocktail: Add coconut water, blue curaçao syrup, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice into the shaker. Shake well for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is thoroughly chilled.
- Layer the grenadine: Pour the grenadine syrup into the bottom of a serving glass carefully to keep it settled at the base.
- Create the layered effect: Slowly pour the chilled mixture over the back of a spoon into the glass. This technique ensures the drink layers beautifully above the grenadine.
- Garnish and serve: Add a pineapple wedge or a cherry on the rim of the glass for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant tropical mocktail!
Notes
- Use a non-caffeinated blue curaçao syrup to keep the mocktail suitable for all ages.
- Pouring over the back of a spoon helps create the signature layered appearance.
- Adjust the amount of grenadine to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet drink.
- For added chill, pre-chill the serving glass in the freezer before assembling the drink.
- The mocktail is best enjoyed fresh and chilled immediately after preparation.
