Ingredients
2 oz Herradura Silver or Reposado Tequila
4 oz orange juice
1/2 oz grenadine syrup
Ice cubes
Orange slice and cherry for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the glass: Fill a tall glass (such as a highball glass) with ice cubes. The more ice, the better it will keep your drink cool and refreshing.
Add tequila and orange juice: Pour in 2 ounces of Herradura tequila, followed by 4 ounces of orange juice. Stir gently to combine.
Create the sunrise effect: Slowly pour 1/2 ounce of grenadine syrup into the glass. The grenadine will sink to the bottom, creating a beautiful gradient of red, orange, and gold.
Garnish and serve: Top your Tequila Sunrise with a fresh orange slice and a maraschino cherry. For an extra touch of elegance, consider serving it with a colorful cocktail stirrer or straw.
Tips for the Perfect Tequila Sunrise
Fresh ingredients: Freshly squeezed orange juice enhances the flavor of the cocktail, making it taste even better.
Quality tequila: Herradura’s smooth and balanced profile makes it an excellent choice for this cocktail, whether you use Silver for its crispness or Reposado for its subtle oak and vanilla notes.
