Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Build and shake

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add 2 oz tequila, 3 oz fresh orange juice, and 1.5 oz pineapple juice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.

2

Prepare glass

Fill a highball or Collins glass with fresh ice cubes.

3

Strain and layer grenadine

Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the ice. Slowly pour 0.5 oz grenadine down the inside edge of the glass or over the back of a spoon so it sinks toward the bottom and creates a sunrise gradient.

4

Garnish and serve

Garnish with an orange slice on the rim and optionally drop a maraschino cherry into the drink. Serve with a straw and stir lightly before drinking if you prefer a blended flavor; leave layered if you want the sunrise effect.
