Ingredients
Scale
Juices
- 1 cup pineapple coconut juice (no sweeteners or sugar, such as L & A brand)
- 1 cup orange mango juice (100% juice, such as Santa Cruz Organic)
- 1 cup Vitamin Water Energy – Tropical Citrus flavor
Other
- Crushed ice (enough to fill the glasses)
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Start with a clear glass and fill it with enough crushed ice to form the base layer. This chilled ice foundation is essential as it helps keep the subsequent juice layers separate and visually distinct.
- Create the bottom layer: Slowly pour the pineapple coconut juice over the crushed ice until it reaches the top of the ice. This forms the white bottom layer that resembles the base of candy corn.
- Add second layer with careful pouring: Add more crushed ice on top of the pineapple layer to make room for the next layer. Using a funnel spout positioned carefully at the center of the ice, very slowly pour the orange mango juice. Pouring slowly allows the juice to settle gradually on top of the ice and form a distinct dark orange middle layer without mixing with the bottom layer.
- Complete the top layer: Add a final layer of crushed ice to prepare for the last layer. Position the funnel tip in the middle again and pour the Vitamin Water Energy – Tropical Citrus very slowly over the ice. This creates the yellow top layer, completing the candy corn color palette.
- Serve immediately: Serve the drink right away without stirring or shaking to keep the colorful layered effect intact and to enjoy the visual appeal along with the refreshing tropical flavors.
Notes
- Use a funnel spout to control the pouring speed and avoid mixing layers.
- Ensure juices are chilled beforehand for best layering results.
- Serve immediately to preserve the crisp separation of layers.
- Crushed ice helps suspend the juices and maintains the distinct layers better than cubed ice.
- This recipe makes one serving but can be easily multiplied for parties.
