Tequila Sunrise

Tequila Sunrise cocktail

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

How to Make It

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
  2. Pour the tequila and fresh orange juice directly into the glass over the ice.
  3. Slowly pour the grenadine down the inside edge of the glass; being denser than the other liquids, it will sink to the bottom.
  4. Stir very gently once or twice to promote the gradient 'sunrise' effect, allowing the red to rise slightly into the orange.
  5. Garnish with a slice of orange and a maraschino cherry before serving.
