Ingredients
- 1 oz grenadine
- 1 oz pineapple juice
- 1 oz orange juice
- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz melon liqueur
Instructions
Prepare the Glass:
- Fill a highball or hurricane glass with ice cubes.
Layer the Grenadine:
- Pour the 1 oz of grenadine over the ice. This will create the “sunset” effect at the bottom of the glass.
Mix the Juices and Rum:
- In a shaker, combine 2 oz of pineapple juice, 2 oz of orange juice, and 2 oz of white rum. Shake well to mix the ingredients.
Add the Juices and Rum:
- Slowly pour the mixture of juices and rum over the back of a spoon into the glass. This helps to layer the drink and keeps the grenadine at the bottom.
Finish with Melon Liqueur:
- Finally, gently pour 1 oz of melon liqueur over the top of the drink. The green color will create a beautiful gradient effect.
Garnish:
- Garnish with a pineapple slice, cherry, or an orange wheel on the rim of the glass for a tropical touch.
Serve:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Melon Sunset.
