tequila sunrise
Ingredients
- Orange juice – Pulp free for a smooth drink. Fresh squeezed will give you the best flavor.
- Tequila – The best tequila for this cocktail is a silver or blanco tequila that has not been aged more than a couple months. Gold tequilas have been aged longer in oak barrels which gives them a oaky flavor and caramel color.
- Grenadine – This gives the beautiful red sunrise hue.
- Ice – Cubed or crushed.
- Garnish – Optional, maraschino cherries
Directions
First, fill your glass with ice. I like to go at least 3 quarters full
Then, add the tequila, pouring it over the ice.
Next, add the orange juice.
Finally, slowly pour in the grenadine so it settles on the bottom and finish with a cherry on top
