      • Orange juice – sweet and citrusy, the flavor of golden sunlight
      • Blue Curaçao – a hint of orange flavor with that unmistakable ocean hue
      • Grenadine – rich, red, and syrupy, it sinks to create that “sunset” glow
      • Slice of orange
      • Ice

How To Make An Ocean Sunrise Drink 

Fill a tall glass with ice.

Pour in the white rum and orange juice.

Give it a quick stir to combine.

Slowly pour the blue curaçao over the back of a spoon so it floats gently and settles into a gradient.

Finally, drizzle the grenadine down the side of the glass.

Watch it sink and streak like a fiery sun melting into the sea.

Top your cocktail with a slice of orange.
