How to Make Barbados Sunrise

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
  2. Gently pour 1 oz of grenadine into the bottom of the glass and swirl slightly to create a layer.
  3. Slowly pour 4 oz of orange juice over the back of a spoon to create another layer on top of the grenadine.
  4. In a separate small glass, gently mix 1.5 oz of light rum and 0.75 oz of orange curaçao.
  5. Slowly pour the rum and curaçao mixture over the back of a spoon, creating a distinct layer on top of the orange juice.
  6. Garnish with an orange slice or wheel.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
