Ingredients

Instructions

  • Fill a highball glass with ice cubes to create a refreshing base for your cocktail.
  • Gently pour 2 ounces of your chosen tequila over the ice, infusing the drink with its distinctive character.
  • Slowly add 4 ounces of freshly squeezed orange juice, allowing the natural sweetness to intertwine with the tequila's boldness.
  • To achieve the iconic sunrise effect, tilt a spoon upside down over the glass, just above the orange juice. Slowly pour the grenadine onto the spoon's back, letting it cascade down the inner side of the glass.
  • As the grenadine settles at the bottom, it will create a beautiful gradient of colours, reminiscent of a sunrise.
  • Give the cocktail a gentle stir to combine the flavours and admire the mesmerizing display.
  • Garnish your Tequila Sunrise with a slice of orange and a cherry, adding a touch of tropical elegance.
