Fill each of your six tall serving glasses generously with ice cubes, about 1/2 cup per glass, or as needed to fill the glass.

Evenly divide and pour the chilled orange juice into each of the six glasses.

Carefully and slowly pour about 1 tablespoon of grenadine into each glass. The grenadine is denser than the orange juice, so it will sink to the bottom, creating a beautiful 'sunrise' layered effect. Do not stir.
