Mocktail Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut water
- 1 tbsp blue curaçao syrup (non-caffeinated)
- 1 tbsp grenadine
- ¼ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup cranberry juice
- Ice cubes (as needed)
- Pineapple wedge or cherry (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to chill the ingredients effectively and maintain the cool temperature of the mocktail.
- Add liquids and shake: Pour the coconut water, blue curaçao syrup, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice into the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled and blended.
- Prepare the glass: Pour the grenadine syrup into the bottom of a serving glass. This will create the base layer for the layered visual effect.
- Create the layers: Slowly pour the shaken mixture over the back of a spoon into the glass. This careful pouring helps maintain distinct layers and gives the mocktail its signature purple rain appearance.
- Garnish and serve: Add a pineapple wedge or cherry on the rim of the glass for a decorative touch. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing tropical flavors.

- Adjust the amount of grenadine depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- For an extra chill, pre-chill the glass before assembling the drink.
