Ingredients

Wondering what ingredients you need to make your own Cinderella mocktail? Grab a few juices, and you'll be ready to start!

  • Juices: You'll need orange, lemon, and pineapple juices to make this tropical-inspired mocktail.
  • Grenadine: I love using Rose's Grenadine, which is thicker than some knockoff brands and has a great flavor.
  • Angostura Bitters: This adds a unique flavor to the drink. Feel free to omit if you're looking for a 100% alcohol free drink.

Recipe FAQs

What does Cinderella taste like?

This drink has a wonderfully sweet and fruity taste with tartness from the citrus and grenadine.  Imagine orange juice with other fruit juices mixed in, and you'll have a good idea of how it tastes.

What is in a Cinderella mocktail?

A Cinderella mocktail is made from a variety of citrus juices mixed with pineapple juice, grenadine, and often Angostura bitters.  For this recipe, we chose to use orange and lemon juice for the citrus, but you could also use lime if you would like.

What is the Cinderella drink at Starbucks?

The Cinderella drink at Starbucks isn't a fruity mocktail like this recipe; it's a latte with one pump of pumpkin spice syrup and one pump of white chocolate syrup.

Serve

We love to garnish this Cinderella mocktail with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry. You can experiment with other garnishes, like orange or lemon peel, or pineapple leaves or chunks.

If you want to try other tropical mocktails, make sure to try these recipes for virgin mango daiquiri, tequila sunrise mocktail, and frozen virgin jalapeño margaritas.

Expert Tips

  • Use freshly squeezed citrus instead of the bottled kind.  It takes some extra time, but the flavor is so much better.  You can also enjoy the wonderful fragrance of citrus in your kitchen!
  • Don't skip the Angostura bitters.  They add a fabulous depth of flavor that really enhances the citrus and pineapple.  If you aren't really fond of the bitters, just decrease the amount until it pleases your tastebuds.
  • Take things up a notch by using sparkling water with a fruit flavor.
  • Pour the drinks into a special glass.  It tastes so much better when it's in a unique glass!
  • Serve the drinks immediately.  You don't want all the fizz from the sparkling water to go away!

Ingredients
 

For Each Drink

  • ¼ cup unsweetened pineapple juice, 2 fl oz
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice, 2 fl oz
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 fl oz
  • 1 tablespoon grenadine, 0.5 fl oz
  • 3 dashes Angostura bitters, about 0.6 tsp

Keep your screen on while you work!

Instructions

  • Squeeze the juice from about one large orange and one large lemon.  Measure out ¼ cup of orange juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for the Cinderella drink.
  • Pour the pineapple, orange, and lemon juices into a 15.5-ounce highball or Collins glass.  Stir together until blended.
  • Add the grenadine and Angostura bitters, then fill the rest of the glass with sparkling mineral water (about 1 ¼ cup or 10 fl oz).  Gently stir the drink, then add 2 ice cubes.
  • Garnish the drink with an orange wedge and maraschino cherry.

Notes

  • Squeeze your own citrus juice.  Using a citrus press makes it easy to squeeze the juice.
  • Don't forget about the Angostura bitters; they add a unique flavor that can't be substituted.
  • Add another layer of flavor by using a fruit-flavored sparkling water.
  • Be sure to serve the mocktail in a special glass for the best presentation.
  • Enjoy immediately, or the fizz will disappear.

        Why do they call the Cinderella drink the Cinderella drink.

          Unfortunately, there isn't any information online about how it was invented. It seems that the website The Spruce were among the first to post a recipe online, so they may be the creators of it. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help!

    Just want to mention, for those who do not consume any alcohol for religious reasons, angostura bitters do contain alcohol.

      Yes, that's true; angostura bitters do contain alcohol. Many other extracts, like vanilla, do as well.
