Build the drink
Discard any excess water from the ice-filled glass if necessary. Pour 2 oz blanco tequila over the ice, then add 4 oz fresh orange juice. Do not stir after adding the grenadine in the next step.

Add grenadine for sunrise effect
Slowly pour 0.5 oz grenadine syrup down the inside edge of the glass or gently over the back of a spoon so it sinks and gradually rises, creating the characteristic layered sunrise gradient at the bottom of the glass.

Garnish and serve
Garnish with an orange slice on the rim and a maraschino cherry (optional). Serve with a straw inserted slightly to the side so the guest can stir if desired. Enjoy immediately.
