Moonrise Mocktail (via Tesco Real Food)

1. Mix 150ml of orange juice with a few drops of green liquid food colouring. Pour into a highball glass filled with ice. Pour 2 tbsp of grenadine down the side of the glass so it sinks to the base.
2. Unroll a liquorice wheel, trim and cut the end into a point so it resembles a snake’s head. Use to decorate the glass, along with the jelly snakes and the laces.
