# Ingredients:

01 -
Ice cubes, enough to fill a tall glass
02 -
3 oz (90 ml) chilled orange juice
03 -
2 oz (60 ml) chilled pineapple juice
04 -
1 oz (30 ml) cranberry juice
05 -
1/2 oz (15 ml) fresh lime juice

10 -
1 maraschino cherry
11 -
1 small mint sprig, optional
# Instructions:
01 -
Fill a tall glass or hurricane glass with ice cubes. Use plenty of ice so the mocktail stays cold and lightly diluted.
02 -
Pour in the orange juice, pineapple juice, cranberry juice, fresh lime juice, and grenadine. Stir for about 10 seconds until the color is even.
03 -
Add 2-3 oz chilled club soda, depending on the size of your glass. Stir once gently so the bubbles stay lively.
04 -
Add a pineapple wedge, orange wheel, cherry, and mint if using. Serve immediately while the drink is cold and fizzy.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served immediately after adding club soda.
02 -
For a party pitcher, mix the juices and grenadine ahead, then add soda just before serving.
03 -
Use unsweetened cranberry juice for a tarter drink or cranberry juice cocktail for a sweeter one.
