Description
A bright, layered drink made with chilled orange juice, grenadine, and tequila. Sweet, citrusy, and perfect for brunch or sunny afternoons.
Ingredients
4 fl oz chilled orange juice (pulp-free)
2 fl oz white tequila
1/2 fl oz grenadine syrup
Ice cubes
1 maraschino cherry with stem
1 fresh orange slice
Instructions
1. Fill a highball or Collins glass halfway with ice.
2. Pour in the orange juice and tequila, then stir gently to mix.
3. Slowly pour grenadine into the center of the drink, letting it sink naturally to create the sunrise effect.
4. Do not stir after adding grenadine.
5. Garnish with an orange slice and cherry on top.
6. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use pulp-free, chilled juice and cold tequila for clean layering.
Avoid stirring after adding grenadine to preserve the visual effect.
Fill glass about two-thirds with ice to balance temperature and clarity.
Add grenadine gently to maintain the sunrise look.
