Cali Life Recipe

Prepare glass

Fill a highball glass or Collins glass with ice cubes to chill while you mix.

Mix ingredients

In a cocktail shaker (or a mixing glass) add 2 oz Montezuma Reposado Tequila, 4 oz fresh orange juice, and a handful of ice. Shake vigorously for about 8–10 seconds until well chilled.

Assemble drink

Discard the ice from the chilled serving glass if you prefer a fresh pour, or leave it in for a more diluted drink. Strain the shaken tequila and orange juice into the glass over fresh ice.

Add grenadine

Slowly pour 0.5 oz grenadine down the inside edge or over the back of a spoon so it sinks and slowly rises to create a sunrise gradient (grenadine should settle toward the bottom and create a layered effect).

Garnish and serve

Garnish with an orange wheel on the rim and optionally drop a maraschino cherry into the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
