Tequila Sunrise

This is a cocktail suggested by one of my friends. Of course, a Tequila fan. I thought to put this in my post might allow people to enjoy Tequila in a more serene manner. Enjoy the drink!

Ingredients:
  1. 60 ml Tequila
  2. 120 ml Orange Juice
  3. 15-30 ml Grenadine
Preparation:
  • Pour Tequila and orange juice into a highball glass with ice cubes
  • Stir
  • Slowly pour the grenadine around the inside edge of the glass, it will sink and slowly rise to mix with the other ingredients naturally
  • Garnish with and orange slice and a cherry

Variations to try:
  • Caribbean Sunrise: Use White Rum instead of Tequila
  • Vodka Sunrise: Use Vodka instead of Tequila
  • Astronaut Sunrise: Use Tang instead of Orange Juice
