1
Prepare glass
Fill a highball or Collins glass with ice to chill while you mix the drink.
2
In a cocktail shaker, add 1 cup of ice.
3
Pour in 2 oz vodka, 1 oz watermelon liqueur, and 3 oz pineapple juice into the shaker.
4
Add 0.25 oz fresh lime juice if using — this brightens the drink and balances the sweetness.
5
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 8–10 seconds until well chilled.
6
Discard the ice from the chilled glass and strain the shaken mixture into the glass over fresh ice (about 3/4 full).
7
Slowly pour 0.5 oz grenadine down the inside edge of the glass so it sinks and creates a layered sunrise effect.
8
Top with 2 oz Sprite (or lemon-lime soda) and gently give the drink one short stir to integrate soda without losing the layered look entirely.

9
Garnish the rim with a watermelon wedge or a pineapple leaf and add a cocktail cherry on a pick if desired.
10
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy.
