In a large mixing bowl, whisk together freshly squeezed orange juice and softened vanilla ice cream until smooth and uniform.

Drizzle approximately 15 ml grenadine into each serving glass to create a colourful layer at the base.

Ladle the orange punch over grenadine in each glass, creating a vibrant swirling effect.

Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less grenadine to suit your preference.

For added visual appeal, garnish with orange slices or maraschino cherries.
03 -
Prepare the orange juice and ice cream mixture in advance if desired, but add soda and grenadine just before serving for optimal fizz.

For reduced sugar, substitute regular soda with a sugar-free alternative.
05 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, though carbonation will decrease.
