Tequila Sunrise Cocktail

Recipe by Eric Jones

The Tequila Sunrise is a great summertime or anytime tequila-based cocktail that blends your choice of tequila with fresh orange juice, orange liqueur, and grenadine. 


  • Total Time5 minutes
  • Yield1 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 oz Blanco tequila
  • 1 oz orange liqueur
  • 4 oz fresh orange juice
  • 1.5 oz grenadine syrup
  • orange slice, garnish
  • maraschino cherry, garnish
  • ice

Instructions

  1. Add ice, tequila, orange liqueur, and orange juice to a short cocktail glass and stir.
  2. Pour grenadine syrup into the cocktail.
  3. To garnish, add a cherry and orange peel.

Notes

To achieve the “cleanest” sunrise effect with a pronounced red bottom, slowly pour the grenadine down the side of the glass using the back of a spoon. Since it is the heaviest ingredient, it will head straight to the bottom of your glass.
