Ingredients: 2.5 cl apple sours Dash of grenadine Top up fizzy orange drink 2.5 cl Absolut Vanilla vodka

Instructions: Fill a highball glass with ice and add the vodka and apple sours. Pour in the fizzy orange drink so that you maintain the vodka and apple sours near the bottom. Finally, drizzle the grenadine in to form a sunset look. Garnish with a pineapple slice and serve!
