- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1 cup blue raspberry soda (or lemon-lime soda)
Other
- Ice cubes
- Fresh fruit slices for garnish (orange, pineapple, strawberries)
Instructions

- Pour Orange Juice: Pour orange juice into the glass until it fills about one-quarter of the glass.
- Add Pineapple Juice Layer: Slowly pour the pineapple juice over the back of a spoon held just above the orange juice layer to create a distinct layer without mixing.
- Layer Cranberry Juice: Carefully add cranberry juice using the spoon technique again, pouring slowly to avoid breaking the layers.
- Top with Blue Raspberry Soda: Gently pour the blue raspberry soda over the back of the spoon on top of the cranberry juice layer to complete the colorful, layered effect.
- Garnish and Serve: Add fresh fruit slices such as orange, pineapple, and strawberries to the rim or inside the glass as garnish, then serve the mocktail immediately for best appearance and freshness.

- Use the back of a spoon to carefully layer liquids of different densities for a striking rainbow effect.
- Pour slowly to prevent the layers from mixing together.
- Choose sodas with vibrant colors but mild flavors to complement the fruit juices without overpowering them.
- Serve immediately to maintain the visual layers and chill.
- This mocktail is a perfect alcohol-free option for kids and can be customized with different fruit juices.
