Tri‑Colour Mocktail Recipes

1. Tiranga Mango Mocktail – Use chilled mango juice or diluted mango puree for the saffron layer, coconut water for the middle, and a kiwi‑mint blend for the green top. Pour each layer slowly over the back of a spoon to keep colours separate.

2. Orange, Coconut & Mint Cooler – Start with chilled orange juice, add a layer of coconut water, and finish with a mint‑lime mixture. Add ice only after the layers are set so the colours stay vivid.

3. Tiranga Lemonade – Mix three lemonade batches: add orange or carrot juice for saffron, plain lemonade for white, and mint‑cucumber juice for green. Gently pour into a transparent glass for full effect.

4. Tiranga Fruit Cooler – Fill a clear glass with orange segments, coconut pieces and green grapes or kiwi, then top with chilled coconut water and a splash of lime. The fruit itself creates the tri‑colour look.

5. Tri‑Colour Iced Tea – Prepare orange/peach tea, plain iced tea, and mint‑infused iced tea, chill each, and layer them carefully in a tall glass. Garnish with an orange slice and mint leaves.

How to Get the Layers Right

The secret lies in density and slow pouring. Chill all three mixtures, pour the heaviest (saffron) first, then gently add the next layers over a spoon. Use clear glasses to showcase the orange, white and green hues.

"Proper density and a gentle pour are the keys to a perfect Tiranga drink," says mixologist Anita Singh.
