Tequila Sunrise

It all begins with an idea.

Smart Mix Score ●●○○○

A timeless classic with a twist of sunshine — silky tequila, fresh orange juice, and a touch of grenadine create a colorful sip that’s as easy to drink as it is to love.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz (60 ml) tequila (blanco or reposado)

  • 4 oz (120 ml) orange juice (freshly squeezed is best)

  • 1/2 oz (15 ml) grenadine

  • Ice

  • Orange slice and maraschino cherry (for garnish, optional)

Pro Tips:

  • For a lighter version, use half orange juice and half soda water.

  • You can swap grenadine for pomegranate syrup for a less sweet variation.

  • Serve with a straw for gentle mixing while sipping.

Instructions:

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice.

  2. Pour in the tequila, then add the orange juice. Stir gently to combine.

  3. Slowly pour the grenadine down the side of the glass. It will sink and gradually rise to create the “sunrise” effect.

  4. Do not stir after adding the grenadine — the layered look is part of the appeal.

  5. Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry, if desired.
