A vibrant, layered mocktail combining sweet strawberries and zesty orange juice for a refreshing citrus and berry drink. Perfect for summer gatherings or relaxing afternoons, with a stunning ‘sunset’ visual created by grenadine.
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
1 cup fresh orange juice (about 3-4 medium oranges)
1 cup sparkling water, club soda, or lemon-lime soda
2 tablespoons grenadine syrup
1 cup crushed ice
Fresh strawberry slices and orange wedges for garnish
Blend strawberries in a high-speed blender until smooth
Divide crushed ice evenly between two tall glasses
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of strawberry puree over the ice in each glass
Pour 1/2 cup orange juice gently over the back of a spoon to maintain layers
Drizzle 1 tablespoon grenadine syrup down the inner side of each glass
Top with sparkling water and garnish with strawberries and orange wedges
For non-grenadine option: Use a few drops of red food coloring for a gradient effect
Use fresh-squeezed orange juice for optimal flavor
