# Tips from flavorandfeast:

01 -
  • You get all those gorgeous layered tiki vibes without the nextday headache or alcohol calories
  • The combination of orange, pineapple, and lime creates a brightness that actually rivals the original
02 -
  • Don't shake the grenadine with the juices. Pouring it slowly at the end creates that signature layered look that makes these feel special.
  • Orgeat syrup contains almonds, so grab a nutfree version if you're serving anyone with allergies.
03 -
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer for at least 15 minutes beforehand. The frosty exterior adds to the experience.
  • Invest in a good quality orgeat syrup. It's the secret ingredient that makes this taste like a real cocktail, not just juice.
