The San Francisco is a brightly colored, alcohol-free cocktail of orange, pineapple and lemon juice with a splash of grenadine. The gentle color gradient is reminiscent of a Californian sunset. Fruity, refreshing and suitable for the whole family.

Instructions

  1. Add orange juice, pineapple juice and lemon juice to a shaker with ice.
  2. Shake hard for about 10 seconds.
  3. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice cubes.
  4. Add the grenadine slowly so it sinks to the bottom.
  5. Garnish with an orange slice and a cocktail cherry and serve.

Garnish: Orange slice and a cocktail cherry

Pro tip: Add the grenadine slowly only after topping up the glass - it sinks to the bottom and creates the typical red-orange sunset effect.
