Tequila Sunrise Recipe

A classic 1930s Mexican cocktail, Tequila Sunrise gains it's name from the way the grenadine (bright red pomegranate cordial) rises to the surface.

  • 20ml Tequila
  • 80ml orange juice
  • 2 dashes grenadine
  • slice of orange
  • glacé cherry

Half fill a high ball glass with crushed ice and add the Tequila followed by the orange juice. Lastly, add the grenadine in two fast splashes - if you add it too slowly the grenadine will blend into the drink and you will not get the classic sunriselook. Garnish with a slice of orange and a cherry.
