Tequila sunrise

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Fill a highball glass with ice. 2. Pour in the tequila and orange juice. 3. Stir gently. 4. Slowly add the grenadine so it sinks to the bottom. 5. Garnish with an orange slice and a cocktail cherry.

Description:

The Tequila Sunrise became famous in the 1970s thanks to its striking color gradient resembling a sunrise. The modern version is usually associated with California. It is a soft fruity highball where the visual effect is almost as important as the flavor. Grenadine should create the red layer at the bottom rather than fully mixing into the juice.
