Instructions
Step 1: Rim the Glass

Step 4: Add Grenadine for a Colorful Gradient

Notes
- Use natural pineapple juice (not from concentrate) for the freshest and most authentic tropical flavor.

- If you prefer a lighter version, reduce the amount of grenadine or replace it with fresh pomegranate juice.
