Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Fill a highball glass with ice cubes. Make sure to fill it to the top to keep your drink cold.

  2. 2

    Add Tequila

    Pour 2 oz of tequila over the ice in the glass, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Pour Orange Juice

    Slowly add 4 oz of orange juice to the glass, pouring gently to combine it with the tequila without mixing them too much.

  4. 4

    Add Grenadine

    Carefully pour 1 oz of grenadine syrup into the glass. It will sink to the bottom, creating a beautiful gradient effect that resembles a sunrise.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Add an orange slice on the rim of the glass and drop a maraschino cherry on top for an attractive garnish.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tequila sunrise immediately with a straw or stirrer, allowing the drinker to mix it if desired.
