Ingredients

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.
