Servings: 1
Cost: $3
Equipment
- Highball glass (or Collins glass)
- Jigger or measuring cup
- Bar spoon (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 ounces silver tequila
- 4 ounces orange juice
- ½ ounce grenadine
- Ice
- 1 orange slice for garnish
- 1 maraschino cherry for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Pour the tequila and orange juice over the ice and stir gently to combine.
- Slowly pour the grenadine down the inside of the glass. It will naturally sink to the bottom, creating the signature sunrise effect.
- Do not stir after adding the grenadine.
- Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Freshly squeezed orange juice gives this cocktail the brightest, freshest flavor.
- Pour the grenadine slowly down the inside of the glass to create distinct layers.
- Use a silver (blanco) tequila for the cleanest, crispest flavor.
- Fill the glass with plenty of ice to keep the cocktail cold without watering it down too quickly.
- This cocktail is best served immediately after preparing.
