Spicy Tequila Sunrise Cocktail

A classic and visually stunning drink, the Tequila Sunrise combines the smoothness of tequila with refreshing citrus flavors and a beautiful gradient of orange and red, resembling a sunrise. It’s simple to make and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz tequila (blanco or reposado)

  • 4 oz orange juice

  • 1/2 oz grenadine

  • Ice

  • Orange slice (for garnish)

  • Maraschino cherry (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Glass: Fill a highball or tall glass with ice cubes.

  2. Mix the Drink: Pour the tequila and orange juice into the glass. Stir gently to combine.

  3. Add Grenadine: Slowly pour the grenadine into the glass. It will sink to the bottom and gradually rise, creating the "sunrise" effect.

  4. Garnish: Garnish with an orange slice on the rim of the glass. You can also add a maraschino cherry for a little extra pop of color and sweetness.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: Don’t stir after adding the grenadine to maintain the beautiful gradient. Sip and enjoy the refreshing flavors of your Tequila Sunrise!

This cocktail is not only delicious but also an eye-catching addition to any party or gathering. Cheers!
