Ingredients
- 3 oz orange juice, chilled
- 1/4 oz grenadine
- 1 orange slice, to garnish
- A few fresh cranberries, to garnish
Method
- Chill the orange juice well; this layered drink is built straight in the glass, so everything going in should already be cold.
- Pour the orange juice into a champagne flute, filling it most of the way.
- Tip the grenadine in gently down the inside of the flute. Being heavier, it sinks and shades the bottom of the drink red while the top stays orange.
- Rest an orange slice on the rim, drop in a few cranberries, and carry it to the table without stirring so the sunset layers hold.
