- 1/2 oz Grenadine Syrup
- Ice cubes
- Salt for the rim
- Orange slice and maraschino cherry, for garnish
Instructions:
- Salt the Rim: Start by running a lime wedge around the rim of your glass. Dip the rim in salt, ensuring it’s evenly coated. This adds a zesty contrast to the sweet and fruity flavors of the cocktail.
- Mix the Drink: In a shaker, combine the tequila and orange juice with ice. Shake it like you mean it – you’re not just mixing ingredients, you’re awakening them!
- Create the Sunrise: Fill your salt-rimmed glass with ice. Strain the mixture into the glass. Then, slowly pour the grenadine over the back of a spoon near the glass’s edge. Watch as it beautifully settles to the bottom, creating a sunrise effect.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately and watch as your guests marvel at this sunrise that doesn’t require an early wake-up call.
