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
- Add ice, tequila, orange liqueur, and orange juice to a short cocktail glass and stir.
- Pour grenadine syrup into the cocktail.
- 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.
