Ingredients
- 45 ml silver tequila
- 90 ml orange juice
- 15 ml grenadine
- ice cubes
- orange slice for decoration
Instructions
- Fill the highball with ice cubes almost to the brim.
- Pour the tequila and orange juice into the glass.
- Carefully pour in the grenadine - slowly, slowly, around the inside of the glass or by the spoonful, so that it settles to the bottom and creates a “dawn” effect.
- Do not stir, the colour gradient is the highlight of the drink! Garnish your Tequila Sunrise cocktail with an orange slice and enjoy!
Notes
Interesting facts and tips:
- The Tequila Sunrise cocktail became popular in the 70's and 80's, much like the Margarita. As a result, the consumption of tequila increased several times over.
- If using store-bought orange juice, choose 100% pulp-free - it will give a clearer and smoother texture.
- When you have fully enjoyed the look of the cocktail, you can stir it to ensure that the sweetness of the grenadine is evenly distributed throughout the drink.
