Ingrédients
  

  • 1.5 oz Crown Royal Peach or other peach liqueur
  • ½ cup lemonade
  • ½ cup lemon-lime soda such as Sprite or 7UP
  • 1 splash grenadine
  • ice cubes
  • 1 peach slice for garnish
  • pink sanding sugar optional, for rimming
  • 1 lemon wedge for rimming the glass

Method
 

  1. Dip the rim of the glass in lemon juice, then in pink sanding sugar to coat the edge with sparkle.
  2. Fill a tall glass ¾ full with ice cubes. Clear ice works best for visual layering.
  3. Pour in the Crown Royal Peach.
  4. Add the lemonade to the glass.
  5. Top off the drink with lemon-lime soda.
  6. Slowly drizzle grenadine down the inside edge of the glass. Let it settle to the bottom to create a sunset gradient.
  7. Garnish with a peach slice and serve with a festive straw. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

To make it a mocktail, replace Crown Royal Peach with 2 tbsp peach nectar or 1 tbsp peach syrup mixed with 1 tbsp water. Prepare the same way. For parties, pre-mix lemonade, soda, and peach nectar, then add grenadine and garnish before serving. Use clear glasses for presentation and film the grenadine pour in slow motion for a fun video. Try variations like adding berries, herbs, or citrus for a twist.
