Instructions

Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
Pour in the pineapple-orange juice and coconut rum. Stir gently to combine.
Slowly drizzle grenadine down the inside of the glass. Do not stir—it will settle at the bottom to create a sunset effect.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry and a slice of pineapple or orange.
Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

For a mocktail version, omit the rum and use extra juice or coconut water.
To make a batch for a group, pre-mix the juice and rum, chill, then pour over ice and add grenadine when serving.
Adjust sweetness by reducing grenadine or using low-sugar juices.
Use a highball or tall glass to best showcase the layered look.
For a frozen version, blend ingredients with ice until slushy.
