Add a splash of pineapple juice for a touch of sweetness and acidity. 5. Carefully pour the grenadine into the drink; it should settle at the bottom, creating a beautiful sunset effect. 6. Stir the drink gently to create a slight gradient but keep the 'sunset' look. 7. Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim of the glass, a frond of pineapple for that tropical touch, and optionally a maraschino cherry. 8.
