Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz 60 ml tequila blanco
  • 0.75 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/2 oz grenadine syrup
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional garnish: orange slice and maraschino cherry

Method
 

  1. Fill a chilled 12-ounce glass with ice cubes.
  2. In a shaker, stir together the tequila blanco and freshly squeezed orange juice.
  3. Pour the orange juice–tequila mixture over the ice.
  4. Slowly drizzle the grenadine syrup down the side of the glass; it will sink and then gradually rise, creating a beautiful sunrise effect.
  5. Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry for a tropical touch.
