Servings: 1
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons Syruvia Green Apple Syrup
- ½ cup pineapple juice (chilled)
- ½ cup lemon-lime soda (or sparkling water, chilled)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

- Turn Ingredients into a Sunset Sip
Start by filling a tall glass with ice, which helps maintain the drink’s beautiful layered appearance. Pour 2 tablespoons of Syruvia green apple syrup into the bottom of the glass to create a bright and tangy foundation. Slowly pour in ½ cup of chilled pineapple juice using the back of a spoon to preserve the layer, then add 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice. Follow with ½ cup of lemon-lime soda (or sparkling water) to give the mocktail a fizzy lift. Finish it off with a gentle splash of orange juice across the top—this forms the glowing “sunset” layer. Garnish with thin apple slices and a lime wheel. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavors and stunning visual presentation.
