🍹 Sip & Chill: An Easy‐Breezy Mocktails to Try:

Summer is basically here and that means fun drinks on a patio. Grab your shakers, ice, and a few simple ingredients; this drink come together in minutes and taste like a mini-escape in a glass.

🍹Tropical Sunset Mocktail

Ingredients (1 glass)

½ cup pineapple juice
¼ cup orange juice
2 Tbsp grenadine syrup
¼ cup sparkling water (club soda works great)
A handful of ice cubes
Pineapple or orange wedge and maraschino cherry for garnish

How to Make It

Ice it up: Fill a tall glass with ice.
Juice first: Pour pineapple juice, then orange juice over the ice—go slow to help them settle.
Fizz it: Gently top off with sparkling water (listen for that happy fizz!).
Sunset swirl: Drizzle grenadine down the inside of the glass so it sinks to the bottom—boom, instant red-orange gradient.
Garnish & strut: Pop on a pineapple wedge or slide in a cherry, grab a fun straw, and voilà—tropical vibes unlocked.
