  2. Pour tequila into the glass, followed by orange juice.
  3. Stir the mixture gently with a bar spoon to combine the ingredients.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality tequila for the best flavor. Blanco or reposado tequila works well in this cocktail.
  • Freshly squeezed orange juice will give your Tequila Sunrise a bright and zesty flavor, but you can also use store-bought orange juice if preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of grenadine syrup to taste. Adding more syrup will result in a sweeter cocktail with a more pronounced sunrise effect.
  • For a frozen version of the Tequila Sunrise, blend all the ingredients with crushed ice until smooth and pour into a chilled glass.

The Tequila Sunrise cocktail is a classic favorite known for its stunning appearance and refreshing taste. Whether you’re enjoying it at brunch or as a pre-dinner drink, this cocktail is sure to brighten up any occasion. Cheers!
