Tequila Sunrise
Description
The Tequila Sunrise combines tequila and orange juice poured over ice, topped gently with grenadine syrup to form a red-to-orange layered effect. This distinct visual is achieved by carefully adding the grenadine after the other ingredients, allowing it to settle slowly through the drink. It’s a visually appealing cocktail that balances the bright citrus flavor of orange juice with the smooth bite of tequila and the sweet pomegranate notes from grenadine.
Garnishing with a slice of orange and a cherry enhances the drink’s fresh presentation and adds a hint of fruity aroma. Typically served in medium glasses over ice, the Tequila Sunrise suits casual social occasions and warm weather gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces tequila
- 8 ounces orange juice

- Cherry for garnish
Instructions
- Fill two medium glasses with ice.
- Divide tequila and orange juice over the two glasses.

Notes
- Chilling the glasses in the freezer before assembling the drink helps keep the cocktail cold longer without diluting it quickly.
