I discovered this drink a couple of years ago in a Taste of Home magazine. It is so simple, yet festive. Your kids will love it!

Crushed ice
4 tablespoons grenadine syrup (found near the mixed drinks at the grocery store)
4 cups orange juice

Add ice to four pretty, see-through glasses. Pour 1 tbsp. grenadine over ice. Slowly add 1 c. orange juice. Stir if desired or serve with fun straws.
