Tequila Sunrise
A visually stunning modern classic that captures the colors of a summer sunrise. This refreshing long drink balances the earthy agave notes of tequila with bright citrus from fresh orange juice and the sweet, dense finish of pomegranate-based grenadine, creating a beautiful gradient effect in the glass.
Ingredients
- 2 OZ Tequila
- 4 OZ Fresh Orange Juice
- 0.5 OZ Grenadine Syrup
- 1 SLICE Orange
- 1 WHOLE Maraschino Cherry
How to Make It
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the tequila and fresh orange juice directly into the glass over the ice.
- Slowly pour the grenadine down the inside edge of the glass; being denser than the other liquids, it will sink to the bottom.
- Stir very gently once or twice to promote the gradient 'sunrise' effect, allowing the red to rise slightly into the orange.
- Garnish with a slice of orange and a maraschino cherry before serving.
