Ingredients
  

Rum Sunrise Cocktail

  • 2 oz coconut rum I love to use Malibu coconut rum, but you can use any kind of coconut rum, light rum, or white rum. I enjoy the coconut flavor, but this cocktail is just as delicious with plain rum. Just be sure to use a light rum, dark rum and aged rum will NOT work!
  • 4 oz orange juice
  • 1 splash grenadine syrup
  • lemon-lime soda you can also use club soda
  • ice cubes

Sunrise Mocktail

  • 2 oz coconut water this is completely optional, but is a great way to add some extra flavor to this mocktail version!
  • 4 oz orange juice
  • 1 splash grenadine syrup
  • lemon-lime soda you can also use club soda
  • ice cubes

Instructions
 

to make a rum sunrise

  • Fill a cocktail glass of choice with ice cubes. 
  • Add the coconut rum and orange juice, to your glass of ice, then fill the remaining space in the glass with soda. (if you are using a very large glass, I would recommend only filling it to the half point to avoid watering down your cocktail!)
  • Add a splash of grenadine to your cocktail, and allow it to sink to the bottom of the glass, this creates a the sunrise effect!
  • Garnish with an orange slice stuck on the rim of the glass, and a maraschino cherry floated on top of the drink.
  • Enjoy!
