DIFFICULTY
A Tequila Sunrise is pure nostalgia in a glass — the gradient of grenadine bleeding up through orange juice is as much art as cocktail. Still one of the prettiest drinks you can put on a bar.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 oz silver tequila
- 4 oz fresh orange juice
- 0.5 oz grenadine
- Orange slice and maraschino cherry for garnish
- Ice
HOW WE MAKE IT
Fill a highball glass with ice.
Add tequila, then top with orange juice.
Slowly pour grenadine down the side of the glass — it will sink to the bottom and create the sunrise effect.
Do not stir before serving.
Garnish with an orange slice and cherry.

Bartender's Secret
Pro tip: Fresh-squeezed orange juice is non-negotiable. Bottled OJ makes this drink taste cheap — fresh makes it taste like a real cocktail.
