Some drinks just scream vacation. The Coral Sunset Slammer Cocktail is one of those recipes I came up with on a warm evening, when I wanted something that looked like a beach and tasted like one too. Coconut, peach, pineapple, and a splash of grenadine—it’s a sunset in a glass.
If you’ve tried my Ocean Peach Punch or Twister in a Cup Cocktail, this one’s your next favorite. It’s tropical, colorful, and ridiculously easy to make by the pitcher.

Tips for the Perfect Coral Sunset Slammer
Layer Like a Pro
To get that signature sunset effect, pour the grenadine slowly down the side of the pitcher or glass. It sinks naturally because it’s heavier than juice. Don’t stir after—it’ll naturally settle and create a layered look, just like in the Bite Me Baby Shark Cocktail.
Want it even more dramatic? Use a clear hurricane glass and serve right after layering.About Coral Sunset Slammer Cocktail.
Balance the Sweetness
This cocktail is fruity-forward, but if you prefer a little less sweetness, use club soda instead of lemon-lime soda. The lime juice already adds brightness and tang, so you don’t want to skip it.
Bonus: toss in frozen pineapple chunks instead of ice to keep things cold and avoid dilution—just like I do in the Sunset Beach Bucket Blast.About Coral Sunset Slammer Cocktail.

FAQs About Coral Sunset Slammer Cocktail
Can I make this drink alcohol-free?
Yes! Just replace the coconut rum and peach schnapps with coconut water and peach nectar. It keeps the tropical flavor and still looks stunning.
How far in advance can I make this?
Mix everything except the soda and grenadine up to 24 hours ahead. Keep it chilled. Add soda and grenadine just before serving to keep the fizz and layers intact.
What’s the best way to transport this for a picnic?
Use a large sealed beverage dispenser or mason jars. Pack fruit and garnishes separately. Bring grenadine in a small bottle and add on-site for the full effect.
Is it very sweet?
It’s balanced! The schnapps and juices bring sweetness, but the lime juice and soda lighten things up. Use club soda if you prefer a less sugary version.
