Who doesn’t love a mojito? It’s simple, refreshing, and just hits the spot. This lime version is a classic, but here’s the best part—you can swap the lime for any fruit you’re craving! Mango, strawberries, peach, passion fruit… the choice is yours.
With its vibrant layers of orange and red, this drink doesn’t just look like a tropical sunrise—it tastes like one too. Perfect for sipping on a sunny afternoon or adding a bit of flair to your next gathering. It’s super easy to make, and there’s no tequila required!
– 4 oz (120 ml) of orange juice (use fresh oj for a richer flavor, but it’s better if you avoid the pulp)
– 0.5 oz (15 ml) of grenadine (more could make it too sweet, and less could not be enough)
– 2 oz (60 ml) of soda water
– 1 cup of ice cubes
– 1 orange slice to garnish
Fill a highball glass with ice.
Pour the orange juice over the ice.
Slowly add the soda water.
Carefully pour the grenadine into the glass over the back of a spoon or by drizzling it down the side of the glass to create the ‘sunrise’ effect. Pour the grenadine syrup slowly and avoid stirring the drink to maintain the color gradient.
Garnish with an orange slice.
Science-backed, honest, and straight to the point
