Tequila Sunrise
Materials
- 2 oz Blanco Tequila Try Olmeca
- 4 oz Orange juice Preferably without pulp
- 1/4 to 1/2 oz Grenadine syrup
Instructions
- Fill 3/4 of a tall glass with cubed or crushed ice.
- Pour in tequila and orange juice.
- Slowly pour the grenadine down the side of the glass and let settle.
- Admire the beautiful layered cocktail.
- Stir and enjoy!
Notes
- Try Reposado instead of Blanco for a earthy twist.
- For a fun, spicy twist, reduce the orange juice to 2 oz; then add 2 oz mango nectar and 1/2 tsp habanero sauce.
- If you don't have Grenadine you can use maraschino cherry juice, pomegranate juice or make you own using a recipe like this from Aimee Mann Living.
- You can make a Tequila Sunset by substituting Crème de Cassis for the Grenadine.
