Red Bull Sunrise Recipe
This simple Red Bull Sunrise Recipe blends Red Bull, orange juice, and grenadine into a refreshing drink that looks as good as it tastes.
Equipment
- Tall glass (highball or Collins glass)
- Measuring cup or jigger
- Spoon (for gentle layering)
- Ice scoop or tray
- Citrus juicer (optional, if using fresh juice)
Ingredients
- 1 can 8.4 oz / 250 ml Red Bull (classic or sugar-free)
- ½ cup orange juice freshly squeezed preferred
- 1 –2 tablespoons grenadine syrup
- Ice cubes enough to fill the glass
- Orange slice or maraschino cherry optional garnish
Optional additions:
- Splash of pineapple juice for extra tropical notes
- Lemon or lime wedge for brightness
Instructions
Step 1: Fill the Glass with Ice
- Fill a tall glass completely with ice. Cold is key here—it keeps the layers crisp and the fizz lively.
Step 2: Pour the Orange Juice
- Slowly pour the orange juice over the ice. You’ll immediately smell that fresh citrus aroma, which sets the tone for the whole drink.
Step 3: Add the Red Bull
- Carefully pour the Red Bull into the glass. Let it flow gently so you don’t lose the carbonation. The bubbles rising through the juice are part of the magic.
Step 4: Create the Sunrise Effect
- Drizzle the grenadine slowly down the side of the glass or over the back of a spoon. Watch as it sinks to the bottom, creating that beautiful red-to-orange gradient.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Add an orange slice or cherry if you like. Don’t stir before serving—let the layers shine.
