Ingredients
Scale
For the Classic Tequila Sunrise:
- 2 ounces tequila
- 4 ounces orange juice (freshly squeezed or store-bought)
- 1/2 ounce grenadine
- Ice cubes
- Orange slice and maraschino cherry for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in the tequila followed by the orange juice.
- Slowly pour the grenadine over the back of a spoon or let it drizzle down the side of the glass—it will sink and gradually rise, creating a sunrise effect. Do not stir.
- Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
- For a stronger version, add an extra half-ounce of tequila.
- You can also create a frozen version by blending all ingredients with ice.
