The Coconut Sunrise cocktail is known for its beautiful sunrise effect and delightful tropical flavors, making it a popular choice for warm weather gatherings and tropical-themed events. However, not everyone can or wants to enjoy alcoholic beverages, so it’s essential to offer a non-alcoholic alternative that still captures the essence of the original drink. In this article, we will present the Virgin Coconut Sunrise, a refreshing and visually stunning mocktail that caters to a wider audience and ensures everyone can enjoy its tropical flavors and captivating presentation.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz. coconut water
  • 1 oz. orange juice
  • 1 oz. pineapple juice
  • 1 oz. grenadine syrup
  • Splash of soda water
  • Ice

Instructions

  • Fill a tall glass with ice to ensure the mocktail remains cold and the layers stay separated.
  • Pour the coconut water into the glass, using a jigger or measuring cup for precise measurement.
  • Combine equal parts orange and pineapple juice in a separate container. Gently pour this mixture over the back of a bar spoon into the glass, creating the second layer.
  • Slowly pour the grenadine syrup over the back of the bar spoon, allowing it to sink to the bottom and form the bottom layer with its deep red hue.
  • Finish with a splash of soda water for a refreshing fizz.
  • Optional - Garnish the mocktail with a fresh pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry for an added touch of elegance and color.
