Tequila Sunrise Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Prepare glass

   Choose a highball glass (12–14 oz). Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill it while preparing the drink.

2. 2

   Build the cocktail

   Discard any extra water from the iced glass if needed. Pour 2 oz Patrón Silver tequila into the glass over the ice, then add 4 oz freshly squeezed orange juice. Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon to combine the tequila and orange juice evenly.

3. 3

   Add grenadine for sunrise effect

   Slowly pour 0.5 oz grenadine down the inside edge of the glass or directly onto the back of a spoon held just above the drink’s surface. The grenadine will sink and gradually rise slightly, creating the layered 'sunrise' effect at the bottom of the glass.

4. 4

   Garnish and serve

   Garnish with an orange wheel on the rim and optionally drop a maraschino cherry into the drink. Serve with a straw or stirrer on the side so the guest can mix if desired.
