Frozen Sunrise Margaritas
This is basically two cocktails in one, a frozen margarita and a tequila sunrise. Genius! The first sip reminded me of an Orange Julius, but with a kick.

Ingredients
- course salt for rimming glass
- 1 lime wedge for rimming glass
- 2 cups orange juice
- 3 to 6 ounces tequila
- 1 ounce orange liqueur
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 cups ice
- ¼ cup grenadine
Instructions
- Spread a layer of salt in a shallow dish. Run the lime wedge around the rims of 4 highball glasses or 2 goblets to moisten; dip ribs in salt.
- Place orange juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice in a blender. Add ice and pulse until smooth. Divide drinks evenly among glasses.
- Tilt glasses and drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons grenadine down the side of each drink; grenadine will sink to the bottom and create a sunset effect. Garnish with orange slices and maraschino cherries and serve.

Notes
- The original recipe calls for 6 ounces of tequila, but I actually only added 3 ounces. If you don’t have any kids and want to stay in bed all day then add the extra tequila.
