The Sunrise Mocktail is a non-alcoholic drink that's both visually and taste-wise. Inspired by the classic Tequila Sunrise, its layered colors resemble a sunrise. Made with orange juice, soda water (or sparkling water), and grenadine, it offers a tart, sweet, fruity flavor with a refreshing effervescent taste. It's perfect for summer, brunch, or anytime you want to enjoy a beautiful drink. It's easy to enjoy with both adults and children. ☀️🍹

What is Sunrise Mocktail?

The Sunrise Mocktail is a non-alcoholic fruit soda drink. The sweetness of orange juice and the red color of pomegranate syrup create a dreamy sunrise effect in the glass, reminiscent of the rising sun. This drink not only has a beautiful color but also a slightly sweet and sour taste with a slightly bubbly texture, making it both refreshing and healthy.

Main ingredient ratio

  • Fresh orange juice: about 100-150ml

  • Soda water or lemonade: about 50-100ml

  • Pomegranate syrup: 20-30ml

  • ice cubes

  • Garnish: orange slices, cherries or mint leaves 🍒🍊

Preparation method

  1. Fill a highball glass or long drink glass with ice.

  2. Pour in fresh orange juice and then fill the glass almost to the rim with soda water or lemonade.

  3. Slowly pour the pomegranate syrup along the side of the cup. It will sink to the bottom of the cup to create a sunrise effect. Do not stir it.

  4. Finally, garnish with orange slices or cherries to add beauty and aroma.

Editor's sharing

This Sunrise Mocktail is a summer must-have! Its vibrant colors are photogenic and a must-have for Instagram posts. The naturally sweet orange juice, the fruity and slightly tart pomegranate syrup, and the refreshing effervescent sparkling water perfectly complement each other, creating an instant, refreshing drink that quenches your thirst. It's a refreshing, multifaceted drink that's perfect for a party at home or a picnic at the beach.

With Hong Kong's sweltering weather, non-alcoholic drinks are a popular way to beat the heat. The Virgin Sunrise Mocktail is a perfect example. Using fresh juice for a fruity kick, you can adjust the amount of syrup to suit your taste—a healthy and enjoyable experience. I recommend using more orange juice and less soda for a more natural and sweet flavor. Adding mint leaves adds a touch of depth.


Sunrise Mocktail is more than just a non-alcoholic drink; it's a symbol of a better life, bringing everyone the freshness and vitality of summer. Enjoy this beautiful "sunrise"-like start to your evening, whether you're a grown-up or a child! 🍊🌞💦# SunriseMocktailDetails + Editor's Explanation🌅🍊✨
