• 1/2 Splash Lime Juice: For that perfect hint of zesty freshness.
• 1 oz Orange Juice: Contributes a bright, citrusy flavor.

Optional Garnish:

• A slice of pineapple or an orange wheel

How to Make the Tiki Torch:

1. Start with the Grenadine: Pour 1 teaspoon of grenadine into the bottom of your glass. This will create a lovely red base.
2. Add the Juices: Combine the lime juice, orange juice, and pineapple juice in a shaker with ice. Shake well to mix and chill.
3. Layer the Mixture: Carefully pour the juice mixture over the grenadine in the glass, allowing the colors to slowly blend.
4. Introduce the Coconut Rum: Add 1 ounce of coconut rum into the glass. The coconut flavor will start to mingle with the juices, enhancing the tropical essence.
5. Top with Fireball: Pour 2 ounces of Fireball cinnamon whiskey on top. The Fireball not only adds a unique, spicy twist but also a warming sensation that contrasts beautifully with the cool fruit juices.
6. Garnish and Serve: Finish off your Tiki Torch with a slice of pineapple or an orange wheel, a cherry, and of course, a little umbrella for that ultimate tiki look.
