Ingredients
Scale
4 oz pineapple juice, chilled
2 oz cream of coconut (or full-fat coconut milk), chilled
1 oz orange juice, chilled
0.5 oz grenadine
Ice cubes
Pineapple wedge for garnish
Maraschino cherry for garnish
Instructions
Fill a tall glass (like a hurricane or highball glass) about two-thirds full with ice cubes.
Pour the chilled pineapple juice into the glass over the ice.
In a separate small bowl, gently whisk or stir the cream of coconut with the orange juice until just combined.
Slowly pour the coconut-orange mixture over the back of a spoon held just above the surface of the pineapple juice. This helps the mixture layer on top.
Gently pour the grenadine down the side of the glass or over the back of the spoon so it sinks to the bottom, creating the sunrise effect. Do not stir.
Garnish the rim with a pineapple wedge and drop a maraschino cherry into the drink.
Serve immediately with a straw.
Notes
For the best layering, ensure all juices and the coconut mixture are very cold before assembling the drink.
If you prefer a thinner coconut layer, use light coconut milk instead of cream of coconut.
Use a long spoon to gently stir the drink just before drinking to combine the layers.
