- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1 cup blue raspberry soda (or lemon-lime soda)

- Ice cubes
- Fresh fruit slices for garnish (orange, pineapple, strawberries)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to chill the drink and help with layering the juices.
- Pour Orange Juice: Slowly pour orange juice into the glass until it fills about one-quarter of the glass.
- Layer Pineapple Juice: Using the back of a spoon, gently add pineapple juice on top of the orange juice to maintain distinct layers without mixing.
- Layer Cranberry Juice: Carefully pour cranberry juice over the back of the spoon to create the third layer, preserving the separation.
- Top with Soda: Slowly add the blue raspberry soda using the spoon technique for the final layer on top, adding fizz and color contrast.
- Garnish and Serve: Decorate the rim or inside of the glass with fresh fruit slices like orange, pineapple, and strawberries. Serve immediately for best visual impact and taste.
Notes
- Use chilled juices and soda for better layering effect and to keep the drink cold.
- Pouring the juices slowly over the back of a spoon helps maintain the layered effect and prevents mixing.
- Substitute blue raspberry soda with lemon-lime soda if desired, but it may alter the visual colors slightly.
- Fresh fruit slices not only enhance appearance but also add a subtle fruity aroma and flavor.
- This mocktail is non-alcoholic and kid-friendly.
