Ingredients
Juices
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
Mix-ins
- 1/2 teaspoon grenadine
- 2-3 dashes non-alcoholic bitters (optional)
- 1/2 cup soda water or ginger ale
Garnish
- Extra pineapple slices
- Extra orange slices
- Cherries (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Juices: Add the freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon juice, pineapple juice, and grenadine into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake or Stir: Shake the mixture well to combine the flavors thoroughly. If you do not have a cocktail shaker, use a tall glass to stir all ingredients with a spoon.
- Prepare Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to chill and prepare for serving.
- Pour Mixture: Strain or pour the shaken juice blend into the ice-filled glass.
- Add Soda and Bitters: Top the drink with 1/2 cup of soda water or ginger ale and add 2-3 dashes of bitters if desired. Gently stir to combine without losing carbonation.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with slices of fresh pineapple and orange, and optionally cherries, to enhance the drink's visual appeal and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute ginger ale with soda water for a less sweet option.
- Non-alcoholic bitters are optional but add depth of flavor; regular bitters can be used if preferred.
- If fresh juices are unavailable, use high-quality bottled juices for convenience.
- The mocktail is best served immediately to enjoy the fresh and fizzy taste.
- Adjust the grenadine quantity to your preferred level of sweetness and color.
