Tips for Making the Best Summer Sunrise Cocktail 

• For the "Sunrise" Effect: The key to the layered look is to pour the kombucha shot slowly into the glass after you've strained the juice mixture. The different densities will cause the liquids to layer, creating a beautiful gradient.
• Juice Quality: For the best flavor, use fresh-squeezed lemon, lime, and orange juices. The taste will be much more vibrant than bottled juice.
• Garnish: While a dehydrated lime wedge is a great garnish, you can also use a fresh orange slice, a few fresh berries, or a sprig of mint to elevate the drink's appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is a zero proof drink?

 A zero proof drink is a non-alcoholic beverage crafted to mimic the complexity and flavor of a traditional cocktail. It can include bitters, syrups, and fresh juices to create a sophisticated and delicious experience without the alcohol.

What is the difference between a mocktail and a zero proof cocktail? 

The terms are often used interchangeably. However, "zero proof" is a more recent term that is often associated with premium, well-crafted non-alcoholic beverages that are more complex than a simple mocktail, often using specialized non-alcoholic spirits or bitters like those from El Guapo™.

Can I make a big batch of this non alcoholic sunrise drink? 

Yes, you can. Simply multiply the juices and bitters by the number of servings you need and mix them in a pitcher. Pour the mixture into individual glasses over ice and then top each serving with the kombucha shot and club soda to maintain the layered effect.
