Description

Bold and vibrant like Aries energy, the Sunset Sparkler Mocktail is a layered masterpiece that dazzles the eye and refreshes the soul. With tropical mango puree, bold grenadine, and fizzy soda water over crushed ice, it mimics the fiery colors of a zodiac sunset. Garnished with mint and a cherry (plus optional shimmer), it’s the ultimate nonalcoholic showstopper for astrology parties or birthday celebrations.

2 tbsp grenadine
1/2 cup soda water (or lemon-lime soda for added sweetness)
1/3 cup mango puree (chilled)
1/2 cup crushed ice
1 maraschino cherry
Fresh mint for garnish
Optional: Edible shimmer or gold flakes for a glam finish

Instructions

Fill a tall glass halfway with crushed ice.
Slowly pour grenadine into the glass to create a vibrant red base layer.
Gently pour soda water over the back of a spoon to preserve the layering effect, filling the glass about 3/4 full.
Carefully spoon the chilled mango puree over the soda layer, letting it float like a golden cloud.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry and a sprig of mint.
Optional: Add a pinch of edible shimmer or a touch of gold leaf to elevate the look.

Notes

Use clear glasses to fully showcase the drink’s layered effect.
For extra chill, keep your glass in the freezer before assembling.
Swap mango puree with peach or passionfruit for a fun variation.
