Method
How to make Tequila Sunrise
Follow the 5 reviewed catalog steps in order.
- 01
Fill a highball glass completely with fresh ice so the drink stays cold and the colors stay distinct.
- 02
Pour the tequila blanco over the ice, followed by the orange juice.
- 03
Stir gently just once or twice to combine the tequila and juice without over-diluting the drink.
- 04
Slowly pour the grenadine down the inside wall of the glass; it will sink to form the red sunrise layer.
- 05
Leave the drink unstirred, garnish with an orange wedge if desired, and serve with a straw so the guest can mix it when ready.
