Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.75 oz orange vodka
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 dash triple sec
  • 1 dash grenadine
  • Optional garnish: orange peel or orange wedge

Instructions

  • Shake: In a shaker filled with ice, combine orange vodka, pineapple juice, and triple sec. Shake well until chilled.
  • Strain: Strain into a chilled martini or coupe glass.
  • Add Grenadine: Slowly pour the grenadine into the glass—it will settle to the bottom, creating a beautiful “sunset” effect.
  • Garnish: Finish with an orange peel twist or an orange wedge on the rim.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • For the best visual effect, pour grenadine gently over the back of a spoon.
  • Chill your glass in advance to keep the drink crisp and refreshing.
  • Swap in blood orange vodka for a deeper citrus note and color contrast.
