Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Fill a tall glass (preferably a highball or a hurricane glass) with ice cubes to chill it.

  2. 2

    Mix the Tequila and Orange Juice

    In a shaker, pour in 2 oz of tequila and 4 oz of fresh orange juice. Shake gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Pour the Mixture

    Remove the ice from the glass and pour the tequila and orange juice mixture over fresh ice in the glass.

  4. 4

    Add Grenadine

    Slowly pour 1 oz of grenadine over the back of a spoon into the glass. It will sink to the bottom, creating a sunrise effect.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Garnish the Drink

    Place a maraschino cherry and an orange wedge on the rim of the glass for garnish.
