Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger or measuring cup
  • Highball glass
  • Ice
  • Citrus juicer
  • Strainer
  • Bar spoon

Ingredients

  • 2 oz banana rum
  • 1 oz fresh orange juice
  • 1 oz pineapple juice
  • ½ oz fresh lime juice
  • ½ oz grenadine
  • Orange slice and cherry for garnish

Instructions

  • Fill the highball glass with ice cubes.
  • Add banana rum, orange juice, pineapple juice, and lime juice to the cocktail shaker.
  • Fill the shaker with ice and shake for 10-15 seconds until well chilled.
  • Strain the mixture into the prepared highball glass.
  • Slowly pour the grenadine down the side of the glass. It will sink to create a sunset effect.
  • Garnish with an orange slice and cherry.

Notes

The drink tastes best with fresh-squeezed juices rather than bottled ones.
Store banana rum in a cool, dark place.
The cocktail can be made virgin by replacing the rum with coconut milk.
For a sweeter drink, add ½ oz simple syrup.
The grenadine must be added last to create the layered sunset look.
