Ingredients

60ml Tequila
120ml Fresh Orange Juice
15ml Grenadine Syrup
Ice Cubes
Orange Slice for Garnish

Instructions

Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
Pour tequila over the ice followed by fresh orange juice.
Stir gently to combine the tequila and orange juice.
Slowly pour grenadine down the inside of the glass — it will sink and create the sunrise gradient.
Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry. Do not stir.

Pro Tips

Pour grenadine slowly against the glass wall for the best layered effect.
Use freshly squeezed orange juice for a brighter, more natural flavour.
Serve immediately — the gradient effect fades as the grenadine mixes.
